Tentsmuir
Point National Nature Reserve. Here the sediment from the
mighty River Tay (Britain’s largest river) swirls in currents
and tides forming the Abertay Sands. The shoreline grows five
metres each year.
The Reserve is of enormous value for wildfowl
and waders between autumn and spring: pink feet geese,
bar-tailed godwits, eiders and more.
Throughout the year as many as 2000 common and
grey seals sit on the sands.
The Reserve lies 2.5 miles east of Tayport or
1.5 miles north of the Forestry Car Park. Contact SNH 01382 553
704 for info.


Cycling
Routes in Fife. The Tourist Information Centre has a series
of maps for cyclists, covering the Kingdom of Fife Millennium
Cycle Way Project.
Many of the routes are off-road,
circular, recreational routes, urban routes or forest routes
produced in partnership with the Forestry Commission.
St Andrews itself has a flat terrain, with
East and West Sands a short distance cycle-ride away, making a
bike a great way to get about.
