This is a great retirement home close to all local amenites and we recommend viewing.
Newport-on-Tay lies on the south banks of the River Tay and is a charming town within easy commuting distance across the Tay Bridge to Dundee City Centre. The residents benefit from excellent local amenities and the high street offers a variety of local shops including minimarkets, butcher, cheesemonger and Deli along with the renowned Sutherlands Hair and Beauty Salon. There is a local primary school with secondary schooling found at Madras College in the historic golf town of St Andrews around 10 miles away. Newport is popular with sailing enthusiasts and for the golfer there are local courses at Tayport and Drumoig.
The opening of the Tay road bridge in 1966 ensured Dundee became easily accessible from north-east Fife.
Tayport, Newport-on-Tay and Wormit are strung along the estuary's southern bank hillside, enjoying spectacular views over the river and the two bridges. Away from the waterfront are villages like Gauldry and Balmerino, with the latter's beauty and ruined 13th Century abbey celebrated in verse by William McGonagall. It enjoys Conservation Area status.
Newport was briefly christened "New Dundee" by Guildrymen who financed development plans. The pier and inn date back to 1715 with a Telford-designed harbour built in 1820.
Tayport rubs up against the Tentsmuir Nature Reserve and is home to Scotscraig Golf Club. In times past it was known as Ferry-port on Craig, before the Victorian railway line arrived in the 1850s.
These communities may look towards Dundee for "big city" amenities but easily accessible Cupar and St Andrews also provide secondary school educational and shopping options.
