Located on the south-eastern side of the Castlemartin peninsula, Pembrokeshire, Bosherston has become famous for its lily ponds. They are a protected National Nature Reserve. As well as being noted for otters, waterfowl and water lilies, the ponds have good stocks of coarse fish, particularly pike and tench, with roach, perch, and eels. An abundance of birds can be seen here with coot, moorhen, mute swan, heron and kingfisher in the reed beds. Wild flowers abound - the squill and sea lavender are particularly beautiful.
