44 attractions and days out

Fife packs a lot into a small area, from the golf heritage of St Andrews to the fishing villages along the East Neuk. Attractions here range from beaches at Lundin Links and Kingsbarns to indoor options like the St Andrews Indoor Golf Centre and Bongos Soft Play Centre for wet afternoons, plus more unusual outings such as the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum in Dunfermline or a race day at Knockhill.
Families tend to gravitate towards Anstruther and the coastal towns for beaches and boat trips, while Cupar and Glenrothes offer farm visits and riding stables such as Wellsgreen Farm and Barbarafield. St Andrews itself covers everything from history to golf-themed fun, including trails like the St Andrews Treasure Trail. Whatever the weather or the age group, there's enough spread across the county to fill several days without much driving between stops.
