Fife Pilgrim Way

Markinch to Ceres – Route Information

As you join the Markinch to Ceres section, be aware that beyond Markinch the path can be a little less distinct as it crosses open countryside, particularly between Dalginch and Balcurvie Muir. The Fife Pilgrim Way skirts around Windygates, before passing through Kennoway and on to Bonnybank before climbing the hill to Devon Wood and up Clatto Hill.

An accessible, attractive and biodiverse public park for the local communities of Levenmouth and visitors alike so they can connect with each other, the natural environment and the area’s rich history.

Starkies Wood

Starkies Wood is the last remaining piece of woodland here in Buckhaven. It is all that remains of the old Muiredge plantation on the edge of our town. Renamed after the last gamekeeper, it has been eroded by mining, railway tracks, modern roads and pedestrians from the expanding housing schemes and shortly with pupils from the new Levenmouth Academy. Now encroached on three sides, CLEAR is regenerating what remains. The work was carried out through a mixture of work by CLEAR volunteers and contractors engaged by Fife Council. The land was cleared and a wetland path was created with plants to encourage wildlife. Benches and interpretation panels have been installed and saplings, shrubs and fruit trees have been planted. As the area is home to bats, we’ve also installed some bird and bat boxes.

Leven Beach and Prom

Tourists have flocked to Leven Beach since Victorian times. And with the opening of the new railway station in June 2024, visitors and locals are once again appreciating its facilities and beautiful sands.

This long, sandy beach has rock pools to guddle in and seals to spot at low tide. And at high tide it’s a really popular wild swimming spot. For safety, RNLI lifeguards patrol it during the summer months.

Largo Serpentine

Largo Serpentine is a narrow strip of broadleaf woodland by the Fife coast. It is home to the Serpentine Walk from which the site takes its name.

Estimated to be 200 years old, the Serpentine Walk is a pleasant trail which links Upper and Lower Largo and the Fife Coastal Path. Complete with a sea view towards the southern end, this slice of woodland provides a scenic route to the coast.

Keil’s Den

Keil’s Den is an ancient woodland blanketed with bluebells, woodrush, dog’s mercury and wild garlic.

A mixed surface path loops around the wood on either side of the Keil Burn. Take a moment to appreciate the views towards the Firth of Forth, Pitcruvie Castle and Largo Law to the northeast.
