About this chalet rental
Whilst staying in St.Monans you will be just a short walk from joining the Fife Coastal Path taking you in one direction towards Pittenweem and Anstruther or in the other towards Elie.
Although the smallest of the East Neuk fishng ports there is still some exploring to do. Fishing and salt production were once the main industries here, and the old saltpans can still be seen, along with a reconstructed stone windmill that was used to pump sea water up to them.
Almost on the foreshore, there is a beautiful little church, built originally in the 14th century by David II in gratitude for having survived a shipwreck on the coast nearby. It was restored in the early 19th century and now serves as the local parish church.
St Monans lies directly on the Fife Coastal Path, so is very popular with walkers. The remains of Newark Castle, with its circular beehive dovecot are further along the coastal path to the west of the village.
