'Gallantry Bower, strange name for such a stern scene, is a sheer cliff (380 feet) which overlooks a glorious panorama of the sea on the one side and richly-wooded country on the other. The name is probably a corruption of an old Cornish word, but it has prompted a version of the well worn legend of a Lover's Leap.'
