Description
Photograph of the Huntsman’s Leap, Pembrokeshire.
Images taken from a book written by a Bosherston schoolteacher, Mrs Evans, around 1930:
“So called because a huntsman strange to the locality, jumped the mouth of the opening on horseback. On looking back and seeing the fearful chasm over which he had risked his life, he fell back and died of fright.
The mouth of this strange, gulf like opening is only about 1/30 of its width on the land side.
Like many more of the “attractions” of Bosherston, it is gazed and wondered at by many a tourist.
Amongst the names of some noted visitors to a noted spot are those of King Edward and Queen Alexandra, Princess Victoria and the Portuguese Ambassador, who visited it in 1900 on the occasion of King Edward’s cruise following his Coronation”
