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.

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.

Stopped here for soup at Campbells Cafe which was great. The Royal Palace (16 century) is impressive too.

East Lomond stands above Falkland and is sometimes known as Falkland Hill. At 434m it's not as high as West Lomond but still offers amazing views and great running. The run up from Falkland is a challenging ascent or you can combine it as a figure of 8 loop with West Lomond from Craigmead car park. On the summit which was once a hill fort there is a trig point and topograph.

West Lomond at 522m is the highest point in Fife and the highest point in the Lomond Hills. It's the prominent western top on the skyline with amazing and genuinely far reaching views across Scotland. The running here is great with good trails, ascents and descents but only very short sections of steep. The trails and tracks allow good loops from any of the car parks or Falkland.

Beautiful views on a clear day

Really good views across all of Fife from this obvious summit. From the west a fairly high car park makes easy work of this Marilyn. A good track leads all the way to the summit, very easily done on a mountain bike too.

A great viewpoint for Fife. Two options to ascent this peak, the shortest is a 20 minute walk from the east car park. The longer option from Craigmead car park in the west is also the best place to walk to West Lomond.
