St. Govan's Head, Bosherston SA71 5DR, Wales

URPoint Details

St Govan's Chapel although small - a mere just 17ft by 12ft, Govan's story is pure speculation and could have been King Arthur's knight Sir Gawaine Coren, wife of a 6th-century prince, or the Irish saint Gobham.
Outside the chapel a boulder known as Bell Rock is said to contain a silver bell, which was in the bell tower, but was stolen by pirates. Angels brought the bell back and hid it in the rock.
Nearby there is a deep narrow ravine called Huntsman's Leap. The story behind the name is that a brave man jumped his horse over it and, having safely landed, died of fright when he realised the great risk he had taken.
