Unfortunately the Aurrie is closed. From what one hears, the owners hiked the rent beyond what was doable. The people who ran it now have a cafe on Lundin Links Main Street.

Really nice path overall, though thin road tires may struggle in the more gravely & sandy sections

Lovely place to cycle to! Salty Dog Cafe at the end of the harbour was a nice place to grab tea and an ice cream. There are also public loos in Elie, and if you get stuck (my knee was getting really sore) then you can get the x60 bus to Leven (£6), and put your bike in the storage underneath the bus.
