I was going to cycle directly to Elie, but I noticed the minor road to Earlsferry was signposted as part of the Fife Cycle Network, so I went that way instead. Through Earlsferry then and on to Elie, a delightful little village. I dug out the GPS, which indicated that the chain walk was back in Earlsferry.
Following its closure earlier in the year, the Chain Walk at Elie has now been re-opened. The via-ferrata type route, which is maintained by Fife Council, has been repaired following the extensive damage it sustained in April. Around two thirds of the chains were cut and stolen, leaving much of the walk out of action …
Arrived at Elie just after 12 and walked across Earlsferry golf course to the beach then headed South to the rocks and the chain walk. Was about 12:30 when we began and the tide was well in which made it a wee bit more exciting as we just managed to get out of a cave known as Doo,s cave with the incoming tide lapping at our feet.

You just need to find the Elie Golf Course. If you stay on the main road through Elie you will eventually have to go straight or turn up to the right to continue down the Fife coast, stay straight and you'll come to an area where you can park near the course. From there, follow the path between a couple of fairways which leads to the beach.

After a stop for an early pint in Lower Largo (the home of the inspiration for and author of Robinson Carusoe) and a lunch stop on the rocky shores of Shell Bay, we sadly missed the turn-off for the legendary ‘Chainwalk’ along the cliffs. Nonetheless, the coast scenery did not disappoint.
Another pause in Elie, before arriving at St-Monans…oh wait, there was an additional detour to the fresh veg stand, another 2 km or so. We were toast (knackered) by the time we arrived at my BnB, and I was relieved to get a message from him (after two hours of bus and car travel), saying he finally made it back to Pencuik.
