The Fairy Pools, Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye, Isle of Skye

Wonderful location with a great walk and scenic views! Remarkable place for which you should definitely plan a minimum of 2 - 3 hours. Then the approach via the narrow road is also more relaxed. There is now a large car park (subject to a fee), which is then quite full. There are toilets there too. The hike to the pools is quite easy.

Beautiful pools and mini falls alongside an easy hike. The views are breathtaking!! 7am is the perfect time to get there but definitely before 9am to avoid crowds and get the best pictures. There is plenty of parking (including handicapped) and the gentleman parking attendant is very nice and helpful!! Also, very nice, clean bathrooms.

What a magical place. The hike is overall about one hour long and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. We went when it was a bit windy and rainy which contributed to the slightly mystical feel of the fairy pools with low clouds hanging over the surrounding mountains. The pools are connected by small streams and waterfalls. Lots of parking available (6£). Great walk to do, also with dogs.

I don’t understand how some people think this place is ruined by nature seekers. Honestly nothing will quench the beauty of this place. Although there were people walking up and down me and my friend managed to find the perfect picnic spot by the water which felt very very secluded. This place is vast and easy to appreciate no matter who is there. The back drop is impressive and so is the many falls. The water is clear and so so enticing. It’s very cold! The walk itself is very easy going. I would say however the walk back to the car park might have you stopping to catch your breath maybe depending on your fitness level. I didn’t find it a problem and I was carrying my chunky baby in the carrier and a back pack. The car park is one fixed price of £6… at least for this price you have toilets which you don’t need to pay for. I didn’t see any cafe or anything like that around so make sure you pack a lunch or have some water etc already.

Always loved it. Good sized pay and display car park which accepts card. Toilet facilities. Very long walk from the parking space. But it’s nice trekking along the sides of multiple pools and falls. Nice to have a bath in Summer. It’s really magical water colour… I didn’t see any Fairy 🧚‍♀️ yet, let me know if you see one!
