Nothing really worth cycling to (other than Aberdour) until past Leven - where there is a lovely farmshop/tea room. All the wee villages past that are worth an explore - as is St. Andrews. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=856#post-8013 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 21:32:22 +0000 gembo 8013@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No train home from Culross {love that it is pronounced Cooross}. Can very easily push on from there to Stirling mostly off road if you fancy then get train home. Takes 3 hours [tho if not wholly familiar with route 4 hours for getting lost, the Round The Forth Map helps]. Train home from Stirling easy. Culross has great cafe upstairs from the art/pottery shop. Also very orange house. Also first mine shaft to go under water. Battle of Longannet in Miner's Strike of 1973 also took place very close by, picture of Culross beach very good above as can't see Longannet Power Station Chimney which is visible from road above Balerno. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=856#post-7986 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 11:53:27 +0000 chdot 7986@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15545136@N06/3782034889">Aberdour beach</p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3782034889_2a17003e61_m.jpg"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37606868@N05/3463938110">Culross 'beach'</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3656/3463938110_f2845fc041_m.jpg"></p> <p></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=856#post-7985 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 11:48:46 +0000 chdot 7985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"All I said was it has a nice beach..."</p> <p>True, you just confused me.</p> <p>Though you were wondering if Aberdour was near Culross "if I am thinking of the right place"... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=856#post-7983 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 11:43:01 +0000 spytfyre 7983@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I know Aberdour is right after the bridge.<br /> When did I say it was left?

Could anyone suggest a good destination. Not looking for an all day thing, just to fill up the morning.</p> <p>Had a look on cyclestreets at places on the fife train loop and though dalgety bay or burntisland? Any better suggestions? </p>
