The Stackpole Outdoor Learning Centre is a multi-purpose venue run by the National Trust with a theatre, licensed bar and conference facilities.

It is immediately adjacent to the Bosherston Lily Ponds and the Eight-Arch Bridge, occupies a part of the estate near Home Farm and is less than a 1-mile (1.6 km) walk from Broad Haven South beach.

During the English Civil War, the Lort family, who owned the estate from 1611 to 1698, took the side of the King, and the house was besieged by Parliamentarians, to whom they eventually surrendered.

Much of the Stackpole Estate farmland was requisitioned at the start of World War II to create a training ground for British troops.

Crippling taxes on the empty mansion meant it was demolished in 1963, leaving behind the estate's outbuildings, parkland and beaches which are looked after by the National Trust and enjoyed by the public today.
