Point 13

The last stop of the trail! If you head along the Fife Coastal Path or the beach you’ll come to Largo Castaway Sauna, which is a unique outdoor sanctuary nestled on the edge of picturesque Largo Bay. Embracing the natural beauty of Scotland’s coastline, this wood-fired sauna offers both social and private sessions, inviting you to relax, reconnect, and recharge.

Now you can retrace your steps, or follow along the beach to return to the start point.

The Temple car park, with toilets and a seating area, is a prime spot to watch wildlife such as Eider ducks and gannets and rest your feet. Local lore whispers of Knights Templar connections, though these are shrouded in mystery.

If you wish to extend your walk, go up the steps at the back of the car park, turn right and follow the disused railway, after approximately there is a wide concrete turning area, turn left up the hill and carry on north through a lovely, wooded walk known as The Serpentine.

As you emerge onto the A915 the house opposite is known as The Eagle Gates Lodge, which was the gate house for Largo House, an imposing stately home which is now a ruin (it can just be seen through the trees in the winter if you walk towards Lundin Links). Carry on up the hill to Upper Largo where you can join the Upper Largo Heritage Trail!
