Huntsman's Leap

Legend has it that a huntsman urged his horse over the chasm, landed safely, then looked back and dropped dead from shock when he saw what he had jumped over.

Huntsman's Leap is a narrow steep-sided inlet, formed by sea erosion along a fault line in the cliff.

It offers a good reason to stick to the established path! Another reason not to wander at will is that Huntsman's Leap is on an MOD firing range and is closed to the public at certain times. Call Pembroke Visitor Centre on 01437 776499 to check if the range is open to the public. Alternatively, you can check by visiting: gov.uk/government/publications/castlemartin-firing-notice--2.

You can especially be enchanted by the legend that surrounds this crack in the rock!

Great place for extreme rock climbing
