From the station car park, walk a short distance to the farm-access bridge over the line (keeping the rails on your left). Cross over and follow the farm track back towards the station before doing a sharp about turn on to a footpath. We approach the point where the Fordell Railway passed under the main line. The bridge abutments can still be seen poking out of the infill material. Proceed up the old embankment and follow the surprisingly well-defined way. It is in fact an official core path.

​

The embankment is a major earthwork and its's not difficult to imagine why the local farmer has been happy to leave it standing. Eventually a tractor gap appears as the embankment peters out and the trackbed becomes indistinct. The path veers right to join an estate road. Keep left at the next two junctions and we cross back over the course of the line. Can you find the tunnel below? At this point we have three choices:

​

1) Simply retrace your steps back along the embankment.

​

2) Do some further exploration of the old railway. The access road north from the previous junction parallels the shallow cutting containing the tracked for 600 yards. 

​

3) Make the walk circular by continuing along the estate road westwards then taking the left-hand fork in the direction of Dalgety Bay station. You parallel the fields then come close to the Fordell Burn. Don't attempt to cross. Turn left towards a curious but unmissable lone tree atop a grassy mound. From here, you can hook up with the farm track back towards the main road.
