Beautiful stretch of coastline with sandy beaches, wooded valleys and lily ponds

Barafundle is a jewel of a beach set between limestone cliffs and backed by dunes and woods.

This secluded bay can only be reached by a cliff path walk from Stackpole Quay, with steep steps at either end. Stackpole Quay itself is a tiny harbour used by local fishermen and small pleasure boats.

Footpaths radiate from the site of Stackpole Court, a grand mansion demolished before the National Trust owned this area. Exotic plantings in Lodge Park give way to mixed woodland further upstream.
