‘Heavenly’ UK beach hidden by cliffs is like ‘being on Game of Thrones’ and two hours away from nearest major city
BRITS have described a hidden gem beach as "heavenly" and so dramatic it is like walking on the set of Game of Thrones.
Many may think that Cornwall is top of the pile for its beaches - but visitors think a stretch of golden sand in Wales is a close rival.

Barafundle Bay - less than two hours drive from the capital Cardiff - has been labelled the "Jewel' of Pembrokeshire's Beaches".
Beach-lovers are in love with its clear blue waters and picture-perfect stretches of golden sand.
Nestled on the coastline of the National Trust’s Stackpole Estate between divine limestone cliffs - Barafundle Bay is often named as one of the world's best beaches.
The bay is located off the beaten track - with no road access directly to the beach - and the nearest car park at Stackpole Quay is about half a mile away down the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

Many flocked online to rave about the beach, with one reveller comparing it to being on Game of Thrones.
They wrote: “Heavenly place. What a view!!!
"Felt like I was in a set of GOT (Game of Thrones, not season 7 or 8 but the real GOT).
"I actually could sleep there for a few hours.”

Another echoed those thoughts, simply writing: "Heaven."
Explorers who work up an appetite will be happy to hear that there is a pub a stone-throw away from the bay.
The Stackpole Inn won the Travellers' Choice Awards in 2021 and visitors described its meals as "delicious".
"Turned up late for a roast. Service was great, very friendly waitress. Food was delicious. Large portions, everything perfectly cooked," one wrote.
Another added: "Excellent service, an excellent range of beers with great food.
"Definitely put this pub very high on your visit list when your at Stackpole, Pembrokeshire."
