Great excitement on the Estuary last month. Visitors had great views of Peregrine hunting, and..
FCCT offer a range of events, activities, conservation activities, guided walks and family friendly events to encourage the younger generation to develop a love of the environment.
This section includes an extensive range of downloadable resources, including themed walks
and information leaflets, which are sure to enhance any visit to Fife.
Last week was our fourth and final Winter Wellness Session for 2025/26. In this session at Cambo, the group practised their fire lighting skills and learnt how to cook a wholesome meal directly on the fire.
This was a session reflecting on the whole programme. The group have recognised the benefit of these weekly wellness sessions and we are very happy to learn that these gatherings are going to continue into the Spring autonomously. Given they only have a finite amount of time for these meet-ups, due to other life commitments, our Education Officer Rich will be recommending other inspiring places for them to explore in Fife for their “Wellness Walks.”
Rich says: "It has been a real pleasure getting to know this group over the past four weeks, and I look forward to hearing how they continue into the Spring."
If you and members of your community would like to take part in Winter 26/27, please email Rich at richard.webster@fife.gov.uk and he will be in touch.

We’re seeing an increase in motorised vehicles, like off-road bikes, using our paths on the coast, inland and at Local Nature Reserves.
We’d like you to continue enjoying walking and cycling our trails so please be aware and stay safe. Such incidents can be easily reported to Police Scotland and Crimestoppers.
In Scotland, The Road Traffic Act 1988 makes it illegal to operate mechanically propelled vehicles (such as motocross bikes), on public land without the landowner`s permission. This includes common land, beaches, moorland and land not forming part of a road. Certain Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (EAPCs) are included in this legislation. An EAPC is not treated as a motorised vehicle when it is pedal-assisted and is limited to 15.5mph when motor assisted.
Police Scotland are working to tackle such antisocial behaviour and resulting damage in Fife. If you encounter such an incident please note as much relevant information as you can and report it in one of the following ways:
- Phone Police Scotland on 101
- Complete the Police Scotland online form https://www.scotland.police.uk/secureforms/contact/
- Report the incident to Crimestoppers https://crimestoppers-uk.org/fearless/professionals/fearless-scotland/off-road-bikes where there is lots of useful information.
We hope you continue to enjoy our paths and trails as the days draw out. Remember there is lots of useful information to help you plan your outdoors adventure on our website. https://fifecoastandcountrysidetrust.co.uk/

Our Head of Operations, Robbie Blyth, was invited to contribute to this VisitScotland film about the visitor economy. It`s all about Scotland being a leader in 21st century tourism. One of the themes is Community Tourism: where a community is directly involved in managing the tourism offer in their area and ensuring tourism leads to tangible benefits locally.
We were delighted to be invited to underline our mission to Connect Environment and People. Can you identify were Robbie was filmed?
