Visit the place where the dying King Arthur disposed of his magical sword, Excalibur
The Bosherton Lakes and Stackpole Warren are part of Stackpole National Nature Reserve, managed by the National Trust in partnership with the Countryside Council for Wales. The local lake is said to have been the body of water where the dying King Arthur disposed of his magical sword, Excalibur. It lies on the Pembrokeshire Coast, just three miles south of the town.
Formed by the Campbells of Cawdor, Bosherton Lily-Ponds are a single large three reed- fringed fingered lake, created in the eighteenth century for coarse fishing and are now beautifully landscaped. A well-known natural beauty spot, the Pond is currently in the care of the National Trust, and managed by the Countryside Council for Wales and is a very pleasant place for a stroll in the summer sun. The westernmost lake is the prettiest, especially in late spring and early summer when the lilies that are strewn over the lakes are in full bloom. The white water lilies pave 80 acres of interconnecting ponds, crossed by footbridges and is a popular winter haunt for waders and wildfowl.
St Govan's chapel is a 13th century chapel located at the bottom of 52 steps from the cliff tops south of Bosherton. Heading west on the coastal path, Hunstman's leap is where apparently the hunstman's horse died of a heart attack after jumping across the gap in the cliffs.
