Description
A variety of pools formed in the rocky bed of the river Brittle amid beautiful mountain views. This is a tourist attraction, but also a popular spot for dipping.
Getting There
Car park off the B8009 but expensive (£8 for cars, £10 for motor homes as at May 2025). A good gravel path is provided to the pools but still uneven and steep in places.
Accessibility
When leaving the path to access the water the ground is a mix of rock, gravel, and pebbles. Some pools are too deep to touch the bottom so make sure you know how you will get out again.

Beautiful spot for a dip, with lovely cold, clear water. There hadn't been any recent rain when we went and the flow of the river wasn't very strong; I suspect it could get much more violent! Be prepared for some odd looks from the tourists who've just come for the walk, or to admire the pools from dry land 😀 only deducted one star due to the expensive car parking, otherwise a lovely experience in a beautiful location.
