The stream on your right is called the Scoonie Burn, after the name of this area of Leven. The car park across the burn has been levelled out from a spoil heap for a coal mine!
The sunken garden on the left used to be a public swimming pool. You can see a picture of it on the nearly panel and also here.
If you’d really like to swim, you can do so at the Levenmouth Leisure Centre, next to the Railway Station – a bit warmer than the old outdoor pool was. Or you can get the full wild swimming experience at the beautiful, sandy Leven Beach – one of the best on this stretch of coast.
Alongside the kids’ play area are several items of equipment for keeping fit. Why not try them out before you do the rest of the trail?
