With Fife currently enduring winter, it can be easy to get couped up in your home while trying to avoid the cold. 

However, the winter months can be a great time to get out there and explore your local area so long as you wrap up and keep an eye on weather reports. 

With all this in mind, get out there and explore what Fife and the surrounding regions have to offer.

Home to resident peacocks and historic landmarks, Pittencrieff Park is an interesting walk for those wanting to learn more about the region this winter.

The park is overlooked by Dunfermline Abbey and Palace which is where some of Scotland's greatest kings and queens, including Robert the Bruce, are laid to rest.

The park also has a play area for the children and is near Dunfermline, making it easy to grab a coffee or a bite to eat after a walk.

St Andrews Trail 

If you are wanting to take a walk through a bustling town then look no further than the St Andrews Trail which runs in tandem with the Kinness Burn.

The 1.6-mile route is great if you’re wanting a leisurely walk and allows you access to nearby historic sites like St Andrews Castle and St Andrews Cathedral. 

Loch Leven Heritage Trail

With access to Kirkgate Park, you can take the kids to the local play zone or look out at the castle from the Loch Leven Castle viewpoint.

Further down the trail is the RSPB Loch Leven nature reserve which promises a fun day out for the whole family with its educational facilities and views of local birdlife.

Lomond Hills Regional Park 

Lomond Hills Regional Park offers more of an incline for winter walkers as well as space to take your dog out for a stroll. 

The area is more exposed, so it would be wise to wear warmer clothing and be mindful of the weather.
