This can be split into roughly six equal days or for the more energetic it can be undertaken in five or even four days. For detail on how to split the route visit the comprehensive Distances and Options section.

This walking route has both beauty and heritage, along with significant access to the varied Fife communities. The path is not that demanding in terms of walking terrain, but with the exception of only a few urban sections the paths are open with changing outlooks and walking conditions. The walker will be delighted with the history and attractiveness of so many of the villages and towns and may want to linger at many of the visitor attractions and nature reserves along the way.

The website is much more than just a detailing of the walking route. It has been designed to let you learn about the walking route, the history of the communities and essential information for the walker before setting out on this long distance pathway.

* The measurement of the Path has been undertaken by Walking Support using a GPS system and although in some publications the distance has been reported as being 78 miles we believe the figure of 82.5 miles / 132 Km is more accurate for the walk from North Queensferry to the old pier at Newport-on-Tay.
The website distances are based on the 82.5 miles.
