Spar cave

Located near Elgol on the Isle of Skye, Spar Cave is only accessible for one hour on either side of low tide (i.e. about two hours in total). So it's a hike you need to plan carefully to avoid getting trapped and having to wait twelve hours... The geological formations around and inside the cave are magnificent.

The path to the shore is very steep. Then you have to walk along the coast over rocks covered with slippery seaweed. There's also a very steep climb inside the cave (which looks very slippery, but actually sticks very well) before reaching the main hall and a small pool.
