This is the cycleway on the coastal front, full tarmac, nice and wide allowing dog walkers and cyclists enough room to pass through. Looking east towards Arbroath. I found Arbroath to be a pleasant, tranquil, friendly place. Locals willing to stop and chat

Arbroath Abbey is maintained by Historic Scotland and is open to visitors - see their website for times and prices. There is quite a lot to see both in a museum exhibit and out in the grounds. Expect to spend a couple of hours here.
