Embark on a rewarding journey from just off the A909 to explore Burntisland's scenic jewel. This challenging 8.4km route quickly transitions from the initial paved path to follow the trail towards The Binn and Binnend, offering a mix of surfaces as you ascend. Enjoy the unfolding sea views, particularly as you head towards Standing Stones Road and Dunearn Hill, before looping back to your starting point.
