Huntsman's Leap is a narrow steep-sided inlet, eroded by the sea following a fault line in the cliff.
According to the local legend a huntsman urged his horse over the abyss, landed safely, then looked back and dropped dead from shock when he saw the drop he had jumped over.
A good reason to stick to the path! This is on the only section of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path where cycling is permitted. 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.
