At the foot of the Black Cuillin mountains runs the River Brittle. It is punctuated by a string of small pristine water holes that provide unique photo opportunities. The ice cold water makes them popular with 'wild swimmers' and there are several natural waterfalls along the way. The walk to the first pool is 2.4 km from the start and is considered short with medium difficulty. The path is rocky in parts and boggy in others. After heavy rains, the terrain is considered hazardous. Access to The Fairy Pools is from the nearest village, Carbost, along a single track.
