Wormit to Balmerino

In Wormit folow Bay Road west till it ends at parking for Wormit Beach. A path behind the beach continues as the Fife Coastal Path beside fields and through wooded areas giving glimses across the estuary. After a 4km walk you’ll reach the hamlet of Balmerino.

There’s several honesty-box art shops here, and on the track between the coast and Kirkton of Balmerino is a self-serve ice-cream & hot drink hut! If you want further interest, take a look at the ruins of Balmerino Abbey and it’s impressive 470-year-old chestnut tree.

We’re uncertain of the path quality trying to form this into a loop, so we take the coastal walk back the way we came – seeing new views from a different angle.

Length: 8km there and back.
