Barafundle Bay after the crowds have gone... even on a sunless dusk, it's still the most beautiful beach around. To have it to yourself takes it a level up.

And we are lucky enough to call this beach our local. You can even walk there from the campsite, it's a picturesque hour's amble through Stackpole Estate woodlands and around Bosherston Lily Ponds.

Camping is...listening to the patter of rain on canvas and exploring even when - especially when - it's raining!

A wonderful heron encounter for us at our Stackpole end of the beautiful Bosherston Lily Ponds this morning.

There's always a natural wonder of some sort to be seen at Hidden Bridge, which is just below the lawn of the old Stackpole Court manor house. A 30-40 minute walk from our campsite.

Our tip for a non-beach day - follow the sculpture trail at nearby Upton Castle Gardens!

A real gem of a place, with a great cafe in a tipi, and weird and wonderful sculptures and artwork around every corner.

Dobby's Grave, Harry Potter fans' memorial to fictional character Dobby, has been back in the news this week. So we thought we'd repeat a simple plea from the back of our greetings card that we sell on site!

Visitors created this 'burial mound' to commemorate the burial of Dobby the house elf, a key scene in the Deathly Hallows movies flmed at Freshwater West in 2010. Some fans leave socks on Dobby's Grave, in reference to Harry Potter setting the elf free from enslavement by gifting him an item of clothing...

Fresh West is a 15-minute drive from the campsite and is a stunning, wild, rugged beach in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

This week's news credits Dobby fans for having diverted the route of an underground power cable between Wales and Ireland, completed last year. It's belatedly made the news this week with the release of a podcast quoting a project director who sited the fans as the reason for a last-minute route diversion to avoid going through the sand dunes where the 'grave' lies.

Regardless of movies, or construction diversions, the beautiful sand dunes of Freshwater West are part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest and are protected by law.

So, even if you are a die-hard Harry Potter fan, our simple plea featured on the back of our Freshwater West greetings card is this:

"If you visit, please do not add socks as a gift to Dobby (socks are just litter)."

Our eclipse experience overlooking Freshwater West last night. A beautiful, happy, summer festival-vibe of a spontaneous gathering to witness and marvel at a natural wonder 👌🏻

This reflects all that is good in our little world! Generations converging outdoors beneath the awe of our skies.

That's really what Stackpole Under The Stars is all about too! (Hence the name!)

Look out for the teeny eclipse crescent shape that dances across the video in the camera's sun spot! 🌙

And check out those perfect waves rolling in!

It won't be dark like these photos, but our little corner of South West Wales is one of the best places to see the biggest solar eclipse in more than half a century, tomorrow evening!

According to The Met Office, Western Pembrokeshire is expected to see up to 96% of the sun obscured on Wednesday, August 12, making it one of the best areas in the UK to watch the spectacle.

Our campsite always offers superb views of the night sky, and you need to look to the yurt end of the field to observe the eclipse, which will occur from 6.15pm to 8.07pm.

If you're not staying with us, among the best places to watch nearby are the wide open beaches where you'd normally watch the setting sun, such as Freshwater West and West Angle Bay. Broadhaven South should be good too, as it's an official Dark Sky Discovery Site.

Wear eclipse glasses or use a homemade pinhole eclipse viewer to safely view the eclipse.
