Craigtoun Country Park is a landscaped park a short drive from St Andrews, useful when you want a break from golf, university streets, and cathedral ruins. Its lakes, mature trees, walled garden, and small-scale attractions make it especially strong for families.
The park is open as green space year-round, while some rides and activities are seasonal. It is not a reason to visit St Andrews by itself, but it is a worthwhile addition for travelers with children or extra time in town.
