Don’t miss these incredible locations while on your travels
1: Embershard Mine
Just south of Riverwood, this mine is a great source of iron ore: essential for raising your smithing. Watch out for bandits.

Perched on a treacherous glacier, adopting the sign of the Serpent gives you a poison attack you can use once a day.

Even thought it's not a secret, the dwarven cave in the main quest is my favorite environment in all of skyrim, with its epic glowing mushrooms and creatures.
These can't be particularly 'secret', as I've already found 5 of 6 of them. Especially Embershard Mine, it's right next to Riverwood.
Is the Steed Stone pretty secret? I just found it and it's amazing: +100 to carrying weight and no movement penalty from armor
Also, keeping the skeleton key from the Thieves Guild Quest is pretty "secret (maybe not a location...)," in that a lot of people continue to finish the storyline, not realizing they have an unbreakable lockpick in their hands.
Question: Are there any secret locations that are only accessible from underwater?
Embershard Mine? Ha! Gloombound Mine is waaaaaay more worth mentioning. These are definitely not the best "secret" locations in Skyrim.. Maybe for a completely new player coming straight out of Helgan for the first time, but that's it.
Yeah these places aren't at all secret. And mining just to level smithing? Why do that when it's 100 times easier to buy iron ingots/ore from the blacksmiths and craft iron daggers like crazy.
Also a nice secret place I'm sure other ppl have found is a locked cabin with a bookshelf I think? It opens into a cavern for you to explore with a bunch of traps and what not
