Walking around Dunfermline

[thewaverider]

Hi
Currently staying in Dunfermline (Working) and was hoping to get home before my trip to Mount Elbrus but my working trip has now been extended. I am looking for the following

Shorter evening walks around Dunfermline (Staying at the Pitbauchilie Hotel) and was going to try and get an afternoon or day off and head towards Loch Lomond.

Can anyone recommend any good walks in either? (Bagging a couple of Munros or Corbetts would be good)

Thanks

To up your endurance you might want to try and walk out the disused railway line (now part of the Fife Cycle Network) from Dunfermline to Alloa. It’s a crackin’ walk, through some quite pleasant scenery.

A nice evening walk might be Craigluscar Hill on the NW of the town; or even Hill o’ Beath by the M90 (best access is through Kingseat-Cowdenbeath Road)

The Lomond Hills near Glenrothes would be good for a summer evening's stroll. There is a car park up on the road that goes between them.
You could also do a bit of the Fife Coastal Path although the best bits of that are between Lower Largo and St.Andrews.

Thanks guys will be having a look at them later!

Climb Dumglow. Park in the anglers car-park for Loch Glow, and a path takes you through the trees and to the top, or from the north

Climb Benarty from any direction,. The RSPB place gives you coffee until about 5, and there is an ascent from behind it, but there is also a wee track from the road to the south. Very well worn, but not on a map.

You could also do the circuit of Loch Ore

All these are in Hamish Brown's 25 Fife Walks. He also suggests you walk the pedestrian way on the Forth Road Bridge.

A bit further west is The Binn between Kinghorn and Burntisland, also in the book, which gives a good high up parallel to the coastal path.

P.S. Forgot to mention Culross, but you have probably already discovered this picturesque small town. No Munros, or even hills, but a good evening's stroll

A nice uphill walk is Bishops Hill.
Head north up the M90 to Junction 5 follow the signs for Scotlandwell, takes you along the south coast of Loch Leven.
Park at the church car park in Scotlandwell, cross the road & off you go. Cracking views of Loch Leven & Kinross

This is my current neck of the woods, all great suggestions so far! I love the coastal path, though I've only done it as far as Burntisland. And of course you can always walk to NQF and go across the road bridge to SQF, have a coffee and come back! I love the Queensferrys (ferries?).

Loch Leven itself has nice trails, and Falkland is sweet and close to the Lomond Hills. Fife has loads of wee hidden gems.

Thanks for all the replies will certainly be checking some of those out as part of my training for Elbrus!

Thanks!
