Travellers and activities

Dunfermline for history lovers

You can't leave Dunfermline without visiting one of the most iconic buildings in the whole town, and that's Dunfermline Abbey and Palace. Although there is no exact date as to when it was built, it is believed to date back to 1070, when Queen Margaret, wife of King Malcolm III, was married in a church in the town. Margaret liked this church so much that she decided to form a religious community and begin to transform the then not so ostentatious building into a real palace. Although today only the ruins of this abbey can be seen, the magnificent Romanesque architecture can still be appreciated today, with large towers and stone walls, as well as large windows and carved roofs.

Dunfermline for out-door lovers

If you're searching for a place to enjoy the great outdoors, Dunfermline has plenty of green spaces where you can relax with your family. One amazing option is Townhill Country Park, a beautiful park which is divided into three zones: the first is Town Loch, then Town Hill Wood and finally Village Park. Here you will find the perfect environment for all kinds of activities, especially for those who enjoy long walks, cycling, and different types of sports. One of its main attractions is a footpath of about a mile that runs along the loch, where you can see many animals such as herons, mallards, and friendly ducks.

Unlike other towns in Wales, the weather in Dunfermline tends to be quite mild and warm, but despite this, there is a lot of rainfall throughout the year.
