Went to Fairy Glen on a rather rainy afternoon; however, we had a lovely time with our 2 children (3 and 6) and the dog. The paths were muddy (it was February so we didn't expect any different!) and the steps down to the river...More

Nice walk

Nice walk, paths are nice. Great for easy hike and non hikers! Beware of muddy conditions in winter. And cost 1£ per car and 50p per person.

Magical

A beautiful spot if you can get it to yourself. The glen is stunning, the clamber down a bit muddy, but this is the country folks! The accompanying walk along the river is pretty and wort the extra 15mins. Highly recommended.
