Barafundle Bay, pembs
, near Stackpole Quay and is part of the Stackpole Estate, managed by the The National Trust. The beach, as the whole Stackpole Estate, used to be owned by the Cawdor family of Stackpole Court and was their private beach. On the northern approach to the beach are steps and a wall which were built by the owners to ease access to the beach. Barafundle Bay is set between cliffs on the north and south and marks the end of the carboniferous limestone cliffs of the Castlemartin peninsula to the south-west, and the beginning of the red sandstone rocks of devonian age at Stackpole Quay, to the north-east. In 2004, Barafundle Bay was included in a list of the Top 12 beaches in the world. The Good Holiday Guide also said that it was the 'best beach in Britain'. In 2006, it was voted the best place in the United Kingdom for a picnic by Country Life magazine
