Create an itinerary including The Fairy Pools, Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye

Relax in the natural beauty of the The Fairy Pools, Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye, so called because of their enchanting appearance. Walk around the area and admire the collection of clear-blue streams, waterfalls, and rock pools set amid the grandeur of the Cuillins. Brace yourself for a rather chilly swim or a paddle. If the weather permits a longer stay, bring along a picnic, but be sure to take your garbage away with you. Sensible footwear is recommended as the streams fill up quickly when it rains, making the surrounding area very wet and slippery. Go early for the best chance of securing one of the limited parking spaces.

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.
