*************

Stackpole Estate is located between the villages of Stackpole and Bosherston near Pembroke, Pembrokeshire. It lies within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and is owned and maintained by the National Trust. The property consists of 12 square kilometres (4.6 sq mi) of farmland, lakes, woodland, beaches, and cliffs. It lies in the community of Stackpole and Castlemartin.

The estate has no visible boundary and is accessible to visitors all year round. However the National Trust does charge for car parking at Lodge Park ( Stackpole Court site) (with 2pm onwards reduction), Stackpole Quay, Bosherston and Broad Haven South beach from spring through to October.

The Stackpole Estate contains the unspoilt beaches of Barafundle Bay and Broad Haven South, the 100 acres (0.40 km²) of lily ponds are home to otters, fish, swans, ducks and many other wildlife species. From the cliff tops and beaches, bottlenose dolphins and basking sharks can sometimes be seen along with many different varieties of sea birds such as kittiwakes.Also keep an eye out Chough, crow like they have a red beak and red legs and distinctive "fingered wing".

Stackpole itself is a village located 4.2 miles (6.8 km) south of Pembroke and has a population of around 200. It has its own voluntary controlled primary school for children aged 4 to 11.^[1]The school was constructed in the late nineteenth century.

Stackpole village was moved from its original medieval site in 1735 to accommodate the growing Stackpole Estate. However, present day Stackpole is considerably larger than it was then. Stackpole has a public house, The Stackpole Inn, which occupies the former village Post Office, a building of sixteenth-century origin.^[2] The village is surrounded on all sides by woodland and arable farmland.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the village expanded with modern homes built at the edge of Deer Park and around the school.

Just outside the village there is the Stackpole Outdoor Learning Centre which is a multi-purpose venue run by the National Trust with a theatre, licensed bar and conference facilities. It is immediately adjacent to the Lily Ponds and the Eight-Arch Bridge and occupies a remarkably tranquil part of the estate near Home Farm and less than a 1-mile (1.6 km) walk from Broad Haven South beach.
