The Stackpole Estate lies within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and is owned and maintained by the National Trust. The property consists of 12 square kilometres of farmland, lakes, woodland, beaches, and cliffs. Stackpole Court was an elegant baronial mansion, besieged by Parliamentarians during the Civil War, and eventually requisitioned by the British Army during the Second World War. Consequently, the empty mansion fall into disrepair and it was demolished in 1963.

Stackpole Court unfortunately not longer exists in its once great form. However, the ghost of an old woman, as well as that of a headless coachman drawing a carriage pulled by headless horses haunted the estate where the house once stood.

Inside the carriage was, naturally, a headless lady - supposedly Lady Matthias. Her ghost was apparently exorcised and doomed to empty a nearby pond with a cockleshell (we believe that the picture to the right is the pond concerned, so that could take her quite some time).
