Upper Largo is at the foot of Largo Law and about half a mile from the beach at Lower Largo. Largo Law at 967 feet is a good climb but worth it for the views in all directions. The walk to the beach is mostly through The Serpentine Walk - a Woodlands Trust property.

The landscape of Fife varies from the gentle hills in the rural hinterland to the windswept cliffs, rocky bays and sandy beaches on which scenes from the film 'Chariots of Fire' were shot. Fishing still has a role here but ultimately it is to St Andrews, Scotland's oldest university town and the home of the world-famous Royal and Ancient golf club, that most visitors are drawn. The town itself and the hills and hamlets of the surrounding area retain an appealing and old-fashioned feel.

South of St Andrews, the tiny stone harbours of the fishing villages of the East Neuk - Anstruther, Crail, St Monans and Pittenweem - are an undeniably appealing extension to any visit to this part of Fife.

Fife has always been at the heart of the nation's history, evidence of which can still be found in its wealth of castles, cathedrals, and places of historic interest.

The Kingdom of Fife is also known throughout the world as the Home of Golf and boasts more than forty courses, from the famed fairways of St Andrews and several traditional seaside links to beautifully landscaped parkland and heathland courses suitable for golfers of all levels. Lundin Links is close at hand.
Why not have a game on the 9 hole hickory course at Kingarrock near Cupar. Clubs and balls are provided and it is a great experience.

The Fife coastline is a very special environment which has distinctive rock formations, delicate flora and a varied wildlife. The Fife Coastal path which can be accessed 10 minutes walk away runs from the Forth Road Bridge to the Tay Bridge in the north. There is a variety of linear and circular routes which have been graded and waymarked and cycle pathways similarly. For nature lovers, the path is a real walk on the wild side. Look out for grey seals and, in summer, basking sharks and dolphins. The offshore islands of Inchcolm and Inchkeith are home to thousands of seabirds, with vast numbers of puffins found on the Isle of May. Both of these islands can be visited by boat in the summer months.
