Bosherston Lily ponds
We walked with our 2 small dogs around the lily pond (the 3/4 mile route) to Broad Haven beach which took around 25 mins. There were a few steps but nothing too tricky. The walk was shaded by trees. The beach was stunning, and huge with the tide out. It was very quiet & peaceful. A wonderful walk. Parking was £3 for 3 hours, no other fee.

An incredible and tranquil area of beauty. Spectacular ponds crystal clear and teaming with life. Spotted a pike hunting its prey on the first bridge, a heron perched on the bridge as we crossed the second, swans bathing on the banks and a pair of mallards lazily paddling through the open areas of the lake.Lily starting to blossom, a few in full open beauty. Plenty of signposts on the paths and a very well kept picnic area at the car park. Toilets dated and worn but clean and most importantly fresh smelling in comparison to many in the area.Well thought out recycling bin system for picnic waste, well kept lawns adjacent to the car park for a needed lay down after the full circuit.The reason for the loss of one star sadly is the responsibility and fault of the walk users not the site / it's managers. Sadly as you traverse the paths and despite the easily accessible and obvious dog waste bins many dog owners have left the waste in the paths. Not the occasional pile that can be expected but many around the whole circuit.

Beautiful walk, never seen anything quite like it. The lilies seem to go on forever and there are bridges you can cross to get some gorgeous views. It's like a Monet painting.The walk at one point brings you to a gorgeous secluded, sandy beach.Lots of car parking and toilets but I wouldn't say it's accessible to wheelchairs.There's a nice café 150 yards from the car park.

Great time of year to see the lilies. Hot day, but plenty of shade on both sides of the ponds. Great for dogs and a superb beach at the end. Brilliant beach for kids. Parking was reasonable for 3 hours and that's all you need for a walk around the ponds and some relax time on the beach.

Beautiful walks around the lily ponds, dog friendly, very quiet and peaceful in October with the Autumn leaves falling onto the pathways.

Beautiful, large ponds with good paths all round. Gets very muddy in winter and parts of the lower paths may be flooded. If the bridge nearest the car park in underwater, then you need to take the higher paths.Wonderful wildlife, we have seen swans, cormorants, herons plus various breeds of duck and geese in the water. Squirrels, lots of butterflies, dragonflies and woodland birds in the surrounding forest and, if you are really lucky, you might see one of the resident otters.

Visited mid-morning on a weekdayNot many people, was lovely and quietWould 100% recommend walking boots or wellies!We saw swans, herons, otters, squirrels and loads of other birds! Plenty of wildlife so I'd say definetly bring binocularsLots of different paths to take, can also pop to the wildlife centre too!Parking is ample, it's cheap and available to purchase online and there's toilets at the car park

The sun came out and the lilies opened and all was right with the world. We walked the 6 mile circular walk that takes in the beaches and cliffs. Stopped at the cafe at Stackpole Quay. All in all a beautiful walk and a great day out.

Walked here from Stackpole Quay and the first view from the back of Broadhaven beach is stunning. Easy walking around the Lily Ponds with lovely views. Free entry from the coastal path.

Amazing beautiful place with boardwalks over the lakes. So many lillies and at the end you can paddle through the river on the beach to the sea. Beach is really pretty and there are walks up on the sand dunes to the coastal path. Easy ish walk, but not wheelchair friendly. Toilets at car park and plenty of picnic benches. Nation trust parking so expect charges if not a member.
