There are a couple of benches and a picnic table also to sit and watch the dragonflies watching you. Just a little noisy if the flares at the refinery are burning.

The Lily Ponds, a group of freshwater lakes, are part of a large wildlife sanctuary in the area and are home to a variety of wildlife including otters, wildfowl and dragonflies. About history: The Lily Ponds were the brainchild of one of Pembrokeshire's most important noble families, the Cawdors, who owned thousands of acres of parkland and farmland in South Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Nairnshire (Scotland). In Castlemartin Corse, the Cawdors converted several acres of wet barrens, described as "perfect bog", into good, productive farmland. They also devoted their attention to enhancing their estate in the form of ambitious landscaping, damming the valley of two rivers into ornamental lakes and building a magnificent new mansion on a site overlooking the water. They also built the eight-arched stone bridge over one of the lakes and laid out the lily pond, where a footpath leads down to Broad Haven South Beach and a wooden bridge crosses the pond for a close-up view of the beautiful blooms.
