The nearby Hill of Tarvit Mansion and Gardens offers another glimpse into the past, with elegant grounds perfect for a stroll. Just a short drive away lies St Andrews, world-famous for its university, golf, sweeping beaches, and medieval architecture. The coastlines both east and south of Ceres are peppered with traditional fishing villages such as Anstruther, Pittenweem and Crail, where fresh seafood and harbour views await. Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice—walkers can tackle sections of the ancient Fife Pilgrims Way or enjoy any number of local woodland trails. Cyclists, too, will find quiet country roads and dedicated routes to suit every level.
