Markinch Conservation Area is 1 of 48 Conservation Areas located in Fife. These are all areas of particular architectural or historic value, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. Fife Council is keen to ensure that the quality of these areas is maintained for the benefit of present and future generations. Conservation area designation is not a means to preserve an area without change, but there is a joint responsibility between residents and the council to ensure that change is not indiscriminate or damaging, and that the unique character of each area is respected.

  • DOWNFIELD HOUSE, LADYBANK, FIFE, KY15 7TG House and the Garden Itself
    GARDEN Downfield House is set in 2.81 acres of sheltered and private garden grounds and is approached by an access road which leads through high laurel hedges to a gravelled area to the east of the property offering parking for a number of cars. A wooden gate opens to the gravelled driveway at the rear of the property. This sweeps around the house and also gives access to the large garage/workshop and adjacent log store to the north. The main section of garden lies to the south west of the property. Stone steps lead down from the west drive to a sunken semicircular lawn which is enclosed by mature conifers. Steps then rise on the opposite side to join a striking ‘patte d’oie’. This fan formation is planted with a variety of trees, yew hedging and shrubs providing an ornate and attractive garden to both wander through and enjoy and is specifically designed to take full advantage of the views available from the DOWNFIELD HOUSE, LADYBANK, FIFE, KY15 7TG house and the garden itself. The Northwest corner of the garden has been landscaped to provide a "viewing platform" for the panoramic vista over the surrounding countryside. It affords astonishing views spanning from the Pentland Hills and the Firth of Forth to the south through to the Campsie Fells, The Lomonds, Ben Lawers, Schiehallion, the Sidlaw Hills and as far as the Cairngorms in the north. Delightful meandering paths cut through further wooded areas to the north and east. These are attractively under planted with spring bulbs and woodland plants.
