Cowdenbeath Area

The Cowdenbeath Area is located in the south west of Fife, bordering the larger urban area of Dunfermline. Much of the area is characterised by low, undulating, arable landscape sitting to the south east of the Ochil Hills. Cowdenbeath, and the towns and villages that make up the Area, owe much to their historical links with coal mining and the extensive coalfields that characterised the area.
