Phototrails is a website produced by The Fieldfare Trust, who work with people with disabilities and countryside managers to improve access to the countryside for everyone.

Their site has many walks in Fife, which show a route visually by use of photos and a trail on a map.  It is proving to be an invaluable resource, especially for those who need to know about gradients, sizes of gates and such like to plan their access to the countryside.
