Fairy Pools - Clockwise - Virtually Bog Free Option!

We have explored these stunning Fairy Pools several times. The walk makes for a lovely evening stroll up and down before a visit to the Old Inn in Carbost. A slightly longer walk is to do the (3 sided circular) route as detailed. However, the route detailed involves going up alongside the Fairy Pool...
