From the Wikipedia article
Barafundle Bay (Welsh: Bae Barafundle) is a remote, slightly curved, east-facing sandy beach, near Stackpole Quay in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in Stackpole and Castlemartin Community. It is part of the Stackpole Estate, managed by The National Trust. The beach was once owned by the Cawdor family of Stackpole Court. On the northern approach to the beach are steps and a wall, which were built by the owners to ease their access to what was then their private beach.
