event: 22/Jun/2008 The rotary club of cupar are hosting a bike and hike day at tentsmuir forest. Their committee has nominated CHAS, Ninewells Cancer Campaign, Water Aid and local causes as the charities they hope to raise funds for. Within the forest there are three mapped routes with colour coded way markers which form part of the kingdom of fife millennium cycle ways, All of which are suitable for a family fun day out. You can choose a route of 2 3/4 miles, 4 1/2 miles or 5 1/4 miles. Cycle begins at 11am. Bring a packed lunch or picnic alternatively we have planned a hike along the beach to view the seal colony that lie up on the beach during low tide. This walk is approximately 3 miles in total and follows the first part of the yellow coded cycle route which starts at the car park, once you have reached the ice house turn right onto the beach where the seal colony should be in view. The walk begins at 10am. Bring a packed lunch or picnic. All cars require a ?1.00 coin to gain entry to the forest this is a gem of a beauty spot in the north east of fife and promises to be a day of fun for all.

Tentsmuir Forest
The open, mature pine forest with its towering trees is a great place to explore by bike or on foot. You can follow one of the waymarked trails, or plan a longer day out and take a circular route which links to Tayport Heath and Morton Lochs.
There is car parking at Tentsmuir car park, however the car park is locked overnight and the times of closure vary throughout the year. Check on entry. Please note automatic pay barrier requires £1 coin. Children's play area, toilets and picnic areas are all located close to the car park.
