I take it....

..from the name you need to/use to jump from one side to the other. Seems kind of wide Dan.

Not sure why it's called Huntsman's Leap actually. It's certainly far to wide to jump from the end the photo is taken from. Don't know if you could do it at the seaward end where it gets much narrower. Either way, you'd have to be very brave, or perhaps very mental, to try it.

Perhaps you have to be very "metal?"

It looks like the two pieces of land are
kissing one another. That's funny ...

But, not as funny as Benny Hill.

I think you'd have to be metal too. Either way, I'm not going to be trying it.

Okay guys, I've found out why it's called Huntsman's Leap - it's named after local folklore; a hunter is supposed to have leapt the gap and then dropped dead when he looked at what he had done.
