Go St Andrews

“I love walking because it calms my mood after a stressful day at work, and I can get lost in my thoughts without being caught up by what is happening on the road. I also don’t need to spend money on going to the gym, as I’ve already had exercise whilst on the commute! It makes me feel good and it’s easy. I don’t have to worry about getting a parking space, and I can choose to walk by the sea”

I love cycling because it gives me a feeling of flexibility and also of belongingness (I am part of the Triathlon team in St Andrews). Whenever I may seem to be late, I can easily speed up the pace […]. Cycling is awesome and I just wish there were more cycling paths in and around Fife to explore this amazing place.

I love running in St Andrews because it’s the best way to discover hidden gems in and around the town. Even though I’ve only lived here for seven months, I’m more connected to St Andrews because I see it through the eyes of a runner every day, watching my favourite spots change through the seasons.

“I love travelling by bus because it’s cheap, and I don’t have to pay for car insurance. I don’t have to concentrate on the road, or bother about parking. It’s great!”

I’ve always loved trains. Rail travel is convenient and hassle-free; just show up, get your ticket and board. Plus, it’s easier to stretch your legs and walk around in a train than, say, a bus or plane. Train rides provide space to relax and reflect. I also find rail travel inherently romantic, with rail lines often passing through idyllic rural landscapes. Fare forward, travellers!

I love cycling because my job requires me to be across St Andrews during the working day and my bike helps me to reduce my travel time! It also keeps me fit, keeps me to clear my head after a busy day and gives me the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our little town. Thanks to the microclimate we have in here I’m often cycling in the glorious sunshine. I can’t complain!
