Walkers and cyclists in Culross can now enjoy a new safe path from the village, with the official opening of the Kincardine to Culross cycle route.

Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson MP has visited Culross to officially open the new route, which has created nearly six miles (10km) of traffic-free cycle path, and completed two major east/west safe cycling routes in West Fife.

Councillor Tony Martin, Chair of the Environment, Enterprise and Transportation Committee (EE&T) welcomed the Minister to the event. The Minister cut the ribbon and a special cake to mark the occasion and thanked the organisations involved. He then joined some local cyclists and volunteers who look after the route to explore the path by bicycle.

On opening the route, Scottish Minister Stewart Stevenson MSP commented: "I'm delighted to be in Fife today to open this new £l1 million route in our national network and see for myself the benefits that such routes bring to rural communities."

The new route is part of National Cycle Network route 76, the 'Round the Forth' route, which starts in Berwick upon Tweed and currently ends at Kirkcaldy. It also completes a range of circuits of between 10-60km around Fife and Clackmannanshire.

This year, the Kincardine to Culross path has been used by an average of 1,200 cyclists a month, as well as being a popular route with runners and dog walkers.

It would be helpful to have a schematic map (or reference/hyperlink to such)  to show the new cycleway .... !

Why do we use only WORDS ?
