The Kingdom of Fife is the place to cycle this year when 300 miles of cycle route will be completed.

You can cycle safely around Balmerino.  Also around the fishing port of Arbroath and the Royal Burgh of Montrose with its beautiful two mile-square tidal lagoon and its Basin.

Alternatively, you could head to Tentsmuir Forest, only 15 minutes from The Ice Barn.  Cycling in the forest is a great way of getting away from the world for a while and in Scotland's forests the land area is so vast and the usage so low that you might feel you have the whole forest for yourself!
