There's an ancient right of way that continues from the end of my road (technically a dead-end) to the next village to the west, past the old Bonfield Farm (now a gentrified estate with two ridiculously expensive houses in its place), along a muddy pathway to a copse of trees (under which I attempted to revise for my O grade history exam back in nineteen coughty-cough), which then follows a slight curve between a couple of fields (full of ripening wheat when I passed by).
The path turns into a farm access track that climbs on up to the top of the hill (during which you can turn back and see beautiful views of the village, St Andrews, and the coast),
and eventually passes Clatto Farm to meet the track on the other side that joins the farm road to the dead-end coming out of the next village, Blebo Craigs. So only dead-ends if you're in a motor vehicle! Huzzah for shanks' pony!
There are options from here to continue on through Blebo and further west, or you can avail yourself of another little right-of-way that works itself north to the Blebo offshoot hamlet of Flisk, and then wends its way further north and east down an old and rocky tractor path with pretty views of the surrounding countryside,

that eventually ends up on the Dura Den/Strathkinness High road, where there are still verges wide enough to jump on to avoid approaching cars! (Yes, I do know my highway code - walk on the side facing traffic!)
