The Fairy Glen is a unique and unusual landscape, a geological wonder on the Isle of Skye. It is situated between the villages of Sheader and Balnacnoc.

Went to explore the stunning landscape and scenery of Fairy Glen, its a magical looking place, situated near Uig. Well worth taking the trouble to go, take stout footwear so you can climb some of the small hills for the views of the surrounding conical shaped hills, its pretty special.

We took on this walk on a fairly fine day, it may me a bit more challenging if the weather isn’t great. The walk takes you through a spectacular forest, where you will see lots of fairy doors and fairies a amongst the trees, placed there I think by local school children. The walk takes you along and up a forest trail before opening up to amazing views and the Duirinish Stone, it stands 5 metres high and weighs in at 5 tonnes, and was placed there in 2000 by local residents using nothing more than ‘ropes, Pully’s and manpower’. High,y recommended walk for all

Nice easy (Relatively) flat walk with coastal views. Fine to walk in trainers and only took around 1 hour return so a good one to do while the sun shines as a let up from all the hills! The car park is very small but the area is not as popular as other touristic areas so we didn’t have a problem parking

Lovely spot to watch the local wildlife and enjoy the views Saw sunbathing seals, fishing herons and a group of harbour porpoise playing directly opposite the hide — well worth the visit!!
