About

Lochgelly, Cardenden and Benarty form a predominantly residential ward in central Fife, characterised by its former mining communities. The area's landscape is defined by the large, shallow Loch Leven to the south and the rolling hills of the Benarty ridge, which provide a distinct physical boundary and backdrop. Settlements are connected by the main roads and railway line that run through the region, linking the towns to larger employment centres.

The ward's history is closely tied to the coal industry, with former pit sites now largely reclaimed into green spaces or modern industrial estates. Lochgelly's town centre serves as a local retail hub, while the smaller villages retain a strong community focus. The presence of Loch Leven's Larder, a popular farm shop and cafe situated on the loch's southern shore, draws visitors for its local produce and views across the water to the island castle.
