The East Neuk is a hidden corner of the ancient Scottish kingdom of Fife. Located on the east coast, a little over an hour from Edinburgh, the area features historical fishing villages, picturesque harbours and beautiful sandy beaches.
The beautiful coastline of this area offers wonderful views over the Firth of Forth towards the Isle of May and Bass Rock and chances to spot seals, whales and dolphins. The ancient university town of St Andrews is nearby and there are fantastic activities for adults and children of all ages within a short bike ride or easy drive.
The area’s long history of sea-faring is still apparent, although today the charming harbours are filled with pleasure craft rather than fishing boats.
The coastline is dotted with cliffs, beaches and quaint villages, and there are many walking, cycling and coastal trails perfect for exploring. Inland, the East Neuk has quiet back roads, rolling farmland and plentiful woodlands – and a surprising amount of wildlife for those who venture off the beaten track.
