May 30, 2024, 622 Stackpole and the Lily Ponds (Pembs) ☑️

This walk explored the particularly outstanding stretch of limestone cliffs between the old harbour at Stackpole Quay and Broad Haven beach. It then followed the eastern reach of the ornamental ponds before crossing fields behind the headlamd to complete the circuit. We had a couple of debriefs one at The Boathouse, Stackpole ☕️ where we started the walk from and then a short drive after our walk at the nearby Stackpole Inn, Stackpole🍻

Another cracking walk from Stackpole to Bosherston this time, Toppy enjoyed the quick beach stop. The lily ponds still as stunning even though we only saw them a few days ago.
