About this walk

A well-known out-and-back walk beside the Allt Coir' a' Mhadaidh below the Black Cuillin, following a clear path past a series of turquoise waterfall pools and rock chutes. The route climbs gently on rough, sometimes wet ground with several small stream crossings, and it can get very busy in summer.
