Following its closure earlier in the year, the Chain Walk at Elie has now been re-opened. The via-ferrata type route, which is maintained by Fife Council, has been repaired following the extensive damage it sustained in April. Around two thirds of the chains were cut and stolen, leaving much of the walk out of action for the majority of visitors to the area.
Bill Wilson, Team Leader Countryside, Leisure & Cultural Services said: “I am pleased to be able to confirm that the work on repairing the Chain Walk is now complete.
“I would like to thank all those who have supported and encouraged the restoration of this unique coastal feature. I hope the Chain Walk will continue to thrill and challenge future generations of Fifers and Fife visitors for many years to come.”
Rock work specialists CAN, carried out the restoration work on the Chain Walk (costing in excess of £8,000), which has been repaired using heavier fittings.
