Elie Chain Walk

Defined by dramatic cliffs and stretching beaches, the Scotland coastline is a beauty to take in, and even more thrilling to explore. The Fife Coastal Path spans 117 miles—all or some of which can be navigated depending on experience level—but the area just west of Elie village makes a great half-day trip from St Andrews. The aptly named Elie Chain Walk follows a stretch of chain-lined path that hugs the sea. While the adventure is not considered dangerous, it is advised that children under the age of nine don’t partake.
