Free to visit at any time, the spectacular Fairy Pools are located in Glenbrittle, Isle of Skye. Glenbrittle is overlooked by the majestic Cuillin mountains. Many tributaries run down from the Cuillin including a river with waterfalls known as the Fairy Pools, a popular place for walkers. The Fairy Pools are beautiful rock pools of mountain spring water fed by a series of waterfalls. Visitors can embark on the stunning 2.4km walk from the car park to the Fairy Pools via a path and bridges. The water of the Fairy Pools is crystal-clear, perfect for any adventurous swimmers brave enough to enter the icy waters. It is advisable to bring a wetsuit for this activity as these beautiful rock pools can be bracing. The Fairy Pools are very popular so please drive safely, follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and take your litter away with you. The Fairy Pools carpark is owned by a separate community organisation and OATS set and receive the carpark charges.
