Top 15 Lakes around Royal Burgh Of Falkland And Newton Of Falkland

No water access Sep through Mar inclusive. Alas no beach camping.

Still tricky to get bikes across the reservoir as the larger gate at one end is padlocked & the smaller gate is too small to push an adult bike through up on its rear wheel. The fence alongside had been “lowered” & we lifted our bikes over between us (heavy e-bikes with panniers). Care was needed in doing so as it’s a narrow grassy verge with water below. Wouldn’t have managed this had I been cycling solo.

Pleasant walk along heritage trail and sitting outside at Loch Leven’s Larder with a coffee a nice cake, sets you up for the return journey.

Constructed in 1880, Harperleas Reservoir is the highest in a series of reservoirs built to supply drinking water to the towns of Kirkcaldy and Dysart. There are several lovely walks here, including the Four Reservoirs Circuit, which takes in the eastern shore of Harperleas.

Benarty Hill at 1,167 feet (356 m) is but a small mound in Scotland, and it is a relatively straight-forward hill walk to get to its trig pointed top, but it is huge in rewards with stunning views down over Loch Leven. The best way up is from the south, where you will have a short, steep climb up through the trees to get to the summit plateau and the trig point. The best way back is simply to retrace your steps. This has simply got to be one of Scotland’s underrated hills.
