Townhill is a small village on the western edge of Dunfermline in Fife, Scotland. Perched on a modest hill, it looks out over the surrounding plain with views towards the Firth of Forth and, on a clear day, the Ochil Hills; the local Townhill Country Park provides woodland walks, picnic spots and panoramic viewpoints that are popular with locals and visitors alike.
Historically tied to agriculture and the wider Fife coalfield, Townhill is now largely a residential, commuter community with a mix of older cottages and post-war housing. It keeps a strong neighbourhood feel through a primary school, community groups and sports clubs, and volunteers play an active role in maintaining the park and organising local events, giving the area a quietly community‑minded character.
