If you continue along the path, it will take you to Buckhaven. However, we’ll go back the way we came.
As we head down here, look out for whales and dolphins in the sea! They’re regular visitors in the Firth of Forth.
We’ll head back past Johnathan’s cave and along the front of the car park we just visited.
We will be following the Fife Coastal Path for the rest of our journey. Follow the signs as indicated below.
