Pembrokeshire is renowned for its award winning golden sandy beaches.  The National Trust beaches, Barafundle Bay and Broadhaven South are within walking distance from the cottage.

 

Whether you want a short stroll or a refreshing ramble, Stackpole has miles (and miles!) of footpaths for you to enjoy.  The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path was recently voted the second best walk in the world. Other activities include: cycling, surfing, body boarding, kayaking, fishing, sightseeing & shopping.

​

Freshwater West is one of the top surfing locations in Wales, and regularly hosts national surfing tournaments, and is always worth a visit.  Featured in a number of movies, including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II.   Seaside towns of Tenby and Saundersfoot are amongst the Blue flag awards winners and so many more magical spots to discover in between including Manobier.

 

18th century Walled Garden at Stackpole forms part of the original estate. This is a 5 minute stroll along a quite lane and is closest place for a bite to eat.  The National Trust has leased the garden to Mencap, who use it as a training centre for local adults with learning disabilities, giving them training in horticulture.

 

From Cooper's Dip cottage there are plenty of options for circular walks around the Stackpole National Trust Estate as well as numerous cycle or running routes too.   It is also the perfect training base for triathlons such as Ironman Wales.
