ADVENTURE
FAIRY POOLS &
COIRE NA CREICHE
This exceptionally popular walk leads into typical Cuillin scenery without the need for any scrambling or other difficulties. The first section follows a beautiful crystal clear stream full of lovely pools and waterfalls – well worth a shorter walk in itself. This part of route has been heavily promoted and the paid car park is busy in high season. It’s best to either arrive early, or consider a quieter alternative at such times. The other Cuillin corries are equally magical, and much less visited.
