Descrição da organização

The National Trust is a national charity focussed on conservation of buildings and landscapes. It aims to preserve spaces, to protect wildlife and heritage. They look after coastline, forests, woods, fens, beaches, farmland, moorland, islands, archaeological remains, nature reserves, villages, historic houses, gardens, mills and pubs. The National Trust restores them, protects them and opens them up to everyone. They believe conservation has always gone hand-in-hand with public access and welcome visitors to come and explore.
The National Trust Stackpole is a 800ha estate with large freshwater lakes, 2 beaches and a section of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. They manage the landscape in its diversity, run a schools education programme offering the John Muir environmental award alongside outdoor activities and have holiday cottages and bunkhouses for letting.
Stackpole itself is both a listed designed landscape and an internationally important nature reserve.
The natural surroundings of Stackpole are wonderfully wide and varied including mature woodlands, dramatic cliffs, dune systems, freshwater lakes, and formal gardens. That means a great choice of outdoor activities is possible, from coasteering and kayaking to geocaching and bushcraft, fishing and surf camps to hiking and environmental study.
Stackpole runs an award winning Outdoor Learning Centre, which is located near the actual Stackpole estate. The recently upgraded residential centre with theatre, meeting and classroom facilities can accommodate up to 140 guests and participants.
