An ambitious partnership project to restore the Back Burn to its more natural state in..
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.
🥾Improvements to the Fife Coastal Path 🥾
The next time you’re walking or wheeling the Fife Coastal Path you may notice changes to waymarkers, fingerposts and interpretation panels. We’re updating signage and destination information as part of our ongoing investment in the 117-mile trail.
Over the next few weeks, the old timber interpretation panels are being removed. The timber posts will be completely removed or cut as low into the ground as possible. Then you’ll see the installation of lectern-shaped structures made from Corten steel.
All of our new signage is made from Corten steel which is low maintenance, durable and matures into an orangey/brown patina that blends well into the landscape. You can see similar examples placed by Limekilns Heritage Trust at Limekilns Harbour.
In time, a panel containing information such as maps, local nature and heritage points will be fitted to each lectern. See the early draft here.
FCCT highly value our partnerships with local communities, volunteers and partners along the Fife coast, so we’re delighted to share that we’ll be asking you for ideas for each of the 23 new interpretation panels. Afterall, you are the local experts!
We’ll let you know in the autumn how you can contribute so please keep an eye on local media, our website and FCCT social media.
The Fife Coastal Path signage project has been supported with development funding from the Rural Tourism Infrastructure Fund, and delivery funding from the Scottish Government Nature Restoration Fund and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

🙌Thank you @pfizeruk!
Staff from Pfizer braved the wet weather last week to clean-up along the Fife Coastal Path and beaches between St Monans and Pittenweem. Pfizer staff have done this before, and we were delighted to see them back again.
Thousands of people use our coastal path and beaches each year and it`s good to see our corporate volunteers help to keep these outside spaces in good shape for everyone to use.
A big thank you to the Pfizer Team for their continued support.

🔥 The #unpalletable truth about beach fires🔥
The nights are drawing in, but the weather is still lovely so you might be tempted to have a campfire on the beach. Please don`t burn wooden pallets. Why?
❗️Nails don`t burn. They lurk in the sand ready to cause harm.
❗️Embers stay hot for ages. They can burn toes, paws and claws.
The safest way to enjoy a beach campfire is by using a raised firepit. Our video explains how to use one. Please share this message about enjoying your time on Fife`s fantastic beaches safely.
