Aberdour Holidays

Not for nothing is Aberdour known as the Jewel of Fife. Aberdour offers cheap UK holidays but the place has much to offer, including two beaches, one of which is one of Britain's best, a castle, church, and hotels and restaurants. The lovely beach is called Silversands. Winner of an EU Blue Flag award, it's a white stretch of sand that's almost rock-free and comes with a children's play area. The beach, which slopes gently into the sea, has rock pools to explore at each end. Watch out for the seals on Inchcolm island. In the village stands 13th-century Aberdour Castle, with cellar, main tower, castle well, stables and grounds. There's also a cake and coffee shop. Aberdour's St Fillan's church is also worth a visit on your UK holidays. This Norman church includes a pre-reformation church bell, an ancient bible and some nice stained glass. Robert the Bruce is said to have been a visitor.
