Elie and Fife have so much to offer, below is a summary only.
East Neuk of Fife - Travel through the quaint fishing villages of the East Neuk and you travel back through time. The traditional colourful cottages with red pantile roofs and crow stepped gable ends appear unchanged from past times. Fishing boats lie at rest in the harbour following the bustle of unloading their catch as they have done for centuries. Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem, St Monans, Largo and Elie... place names as picturesque as the villages themselves.
But it is not just the villages that give the East Neuk its appeal. The shoreline of the Firth of Forth is dotted with some of the finest beaches in Britain - Elie holds a Blue Flag Award - and some of the most spectacular links golf courses. There are attractive shoreline walks to be enjoyed, as well as a vast array of places to visit, from ancient Castles and museums to country parks and nature trails. Add some of the best water sports and sea-angling to be found and you have the perfect venue for a healthy and relaxing visit.
