It's worth it, the fairy ponds are not only a fairytale gem, but also a valuable biotope for many rare animal species such as the grass snake. And when the moonlight reflects through the old heather pines on the mirror-smooth surface of the water, it looks like fairies are flying over the ponds, especially from the top of the Horse's Head.

The ponds are gorgeous. Small bridges lead over it and tadpoles can be seen in the water.
