Cycling in Ballingry

Lochore Meadows trails.

over 3,500 feet climbing in less that 50 miles - was pretty knackered after that! Stunning scenery almost all the way, loads of wildlife to spot. Great coffee shop at Falkland (Kind Kyttocks - a bit gentile inside but carry out and sit on park benches) and shops at Glenfarg, Dunning, Milnathort. A couple of very steep sections (33 and 37 miles) and a couple of long (three miles?) climbs.

The initial 700m is on the park access road prior to joining the B920 at a mini roundabout. Turn left and continue out on the B920 through Crosshill and Lochore – take care at the pedestrian crossing. These lights may not be disabled, so obey the indication. Follow the road on through Ballingry to the junction with the B9097 and turn left. After 5.5 kms turn left on to the main road (B996). Do not take this junction too fast as you are joining a main road! Continue south on this road until approaching the built up area in Cowdenbeath. Turn sharp left at the roundabout, again taking care, as this is an acute turn. Follow the main road through the built up areas of Lumphinans and Lochgelly – take particular care at the pedestrian crossings. The road has a ninety-degree left turn in Lochgelly. Two pedestrian crossings precede this natural turn and another follows it. These lights may not be disabled, so you must obey the indication. On leaving Lochgelly take care at the next small roundabout, continuing straight on. Take care also then on the fast right sweeping descent passing under the railway bridge. After the bridge, take care at the pedestrian crossing outside the school. Continue to the next mini roundabout and turn left into Lochore Meadows.
