An excellent viewpoint above Henbury Gorge, Lover's Leap can be found immediately south of the 18th-century folly. On the opposite side of the gorge, you can make out the limestone outcrop of Goram's Chair, while beyond you can see towards the River Avon.

The downhill section between here and the main path down into the gorge from the park is extremely fun to run.
