Adventurous Activities in West Fife

Looking for an adrenaline experience this summer?

Well, here at Craigduckie we are truly spoilt for choice.  All of the following adventurous activities are on  our doorstep – which one will you choose?

Knockhill

Scotland’s national motorsports centre is just 10 minutes from Craigduckie and offers something for everyone. Whether you just want to spectate and soak up the atmosphere of the major events held at Knockhill or whether you want to get behind the wheel and drive one of their high performance cars around the track you’ll be spoilt for choice. 

Knockhill is host to the UK’s top televised motorsport events such as the Superbikes or Touring Cars providing no end of track action for you to witness.  You can check out their diary of events here (link to diary). In addition to the main track, Knockhill also has a specific karting track where we recently enjoyed a family Karting session which is suitable for children 8 years plus (minimum height of 127cm). The team at Knockhill were so helpful and provide all of the kit required. The karting track is great fun with lots of twists and turns to navigate.
