Newport

Making use of the car park beside the Tay Road Bridge, follow the path for cyclists but continue under the bridge after which it curves left behind the houses. It’s a mix of quiet roads and paths on gaps between them, including the small Gowrie Hill Wood. After Victoria Street, go left to find the nature trail that brings you to crossing Cupar Road into Tayfield Estate. You can alter your route through the estate, but we keep the pond on our left and pass the Victorian Bee House on our right. This provides a short route but plenty of interest before walking the driveway out.

You’ll meet High Road and can go right. A short detour left gives you the chance to double-back along Boat Brae and pass some cafes for extra refuelling options and more estuary views. As you walk along the length of Newport, there are some off-road paths parallel depending on tide height. The final one is a bit uneven, but takes you under the Tay Road Bridge at a lower point to the start. This allows for a gentler return, passing some art sculptures and up some steps on the Eastern side of the car park.

Length: 3.5km loop.
