Fife Heritage Trails Accessibility Policy

We are committed to making our website and digital experiences accessible to as many people as possible.

We want everyone to be able to explore Fife’s trails, regardless of ability, device, or technology.

Our commitment

We aim to ensure this website is:

  • Easy to navigate and understand
  • Usable with assistive technologies
  • Accessible across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices
  • Designed with clear layouts, readable text, and consistent structure

We are continually working to improve accessibility and usability for all visitors.

Accessibility features

To support a wide range of users, this website includes:

  • Responsive design for use on all screen sizes
  • Clear navigation and structure across all pages
  • Readable text and colour contrast for better visibility
  • Audio guides to support non-visual exploration of trails
  • Interactive maps designed to be simple and intuitive to use

Using the site

You should be able to:

  • Zoom in up to 200% without loss of functionality
  • Navigate most of the website using a keyboard
  • Use screen readers or assistive technologies

If you are using trail maps or location features, you may need to enable location services on your device.

Known limitations

While we aim for full accessibility, some areas may not yet be fully optimised. For example:

  • Some interactive map features may be harder to use with assistive technologies
  • Third-party tools or embedded content may have limitations beyond our control

We are actively working to improve these areas.

Feedback and contact

If you experience any accessibility issues or have suggestions for improvement, we would love to hear from you.

We aim to respond to all accessibility enquiries as quickly as possible.

Ongoing improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website and aim to align with recognised standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

  • How to use
0:000:00

As you go around the trail, tap the ‘previous’ and ‘next’ arrows to move between points. The picture at the top of the page is shows you where you should be.

If the map does not show your current position when you click “Show My Location” , check your phone browser setting and allow Location.

If there’s more than one of you with a smartphone, you can use the What3Words app to help you navigate. It’s free to download – type in the what3words location, tap “use compass” and it will help you find your way. Though remember, this will point to the exact location, not necessarily following the right path, so use the map on each page to help you.
