Getting around
The No. 95 Stagecoach bus service was, in 2018, nominated 'Most Scenic Bus Route' in the UK. The bus provides a regular service between the fishing villages along the East Neuk coastline, with frequent stops at Saint Andrews bus station. The East Neuk roads echo the area's past; they are narrow, but reflective of the sleepy nature of the area, and as such are quiet and not prone to high levels of traffic. They can be navigated with ease by car but are also ideal for seasoned, and less well seasoned, cyclists.
