Lovely place to go for a walk in the woods and discover this magical place. If you like the nature this is a great idea to go for a walk in a sunny day . To get there, only by car, is a bit hidden the path between some houses in a neighborhood. Free entrance!
A magical place for kids to visit, you decide the story, or just visit and appreciate it's beauty. It's really probably linked to the mining history of the area, it has been said it was a ventilation shaft for a local colliery which would probably be correct.
Lovely little pool...very clean when we were there....bit of a hike there and its not sign posted so we walked past it..If u go wear hiking boots or wellies...the one foto of the wall and pathway is where the pool is and u need to take this clearing..
Great walk even though it was very muddy. Recommend wellies or walking boots. Easy to find by parking near Torwood castle, when the castle is in front of you take a right and go through the silver gate, continue walking and follow the sign for Denovan Rd, follow this path with wooden bridges until you reach the purple ribbon on the fence. Take a right through the stone wall and the blue pool is on your right.
An unexpected gem off the beaten track. Great wee walk and view of the forth rail and Queensferry bridges on a clear day. Its a mystery really to what the blue pool is/was built for which makes it kind of magical
It's a fascinating free mystery on a historical walk that's just got to be visited even if it's for the bragging rights. What is the exact truth and although this could be signposted so much better as well as marketed more it does help give you the privacy and atmospheric feel. Best views are in the bright summer sunlight but even on a dull day as when I visited this is worth visiting more than once. See the castle review for more directions and parking as well.
I can imagine that in better times this would have been a magical place to visit. Unfortunately that was not the case today. The pool is very low, scummy water filled with litter, beer cans, plastic bags, camping tents, old camping chairs - an absolutely disgusting show. Surrounded by large areas of burnt-out woodland littered with tourist debris. I wish people had more pride in their country and themselves. Would definitely not recommend this place for a visit.
Difficult to locate without the assistance of a GPS device. Larbert is the closest rail station. Can only take a car so far, a 10 - 20 minute walk through uneven, gravel, tree roots, and mud. It would appear the area is used for off road cycling. There is minimal signage, prepare to get lost. Wear sensible shoes and choose a dry day.
Fair wee walk to reach this eerie blue pool but some good scenery en route. Paths can be quite uneven in places and near the pool very much so. Would say its best to walk, not suitable for buggies and some bikes may struggle in areas.
Torwood Blue Pool is located at Denovan Rd, Larbert FK5 4SW, UK
