Located approximately halfway along the Sheep's Head peninsula between Durrus and Kilcrohane in County Cork, Leap is a wooded coastal village with a deep and sheltered harbour.

Leap’s place in folklore comes from an ancient story about a local chieftain, O’Donovan, who, while being pursued by his enemies, jumped the ravine, Donovan’s Leap, on horseback and escaped. The 35ft gorge is right in the centre of the village and has a pretty waterfall.

This little village has great views over the harbour and boasts four bars for you to sample the local food and soak up the atmosphere.
