Wintour's Leap

Wintour's Leap is a noted rock climbing location and viewpoint. It is located on the English side of the Wye Valley, north of Chepstow, near the village of Woodcroft in Gloucestershire.
== History ==
Wintour's Leap is named after Royalist Sir John Wintour who, hotly pursued on his horse by Parliamentary forces, according to local myth survived a leap off the cliff and, landing safely in the Wye below, swam to safety in the nearby Chepstow Castle. In fact, Wintour did escape from the Roundheads by using the river nearby on two separate occasions, but from less spectacular positions at Lancaut and Sedbury.〔Jeremy Knight, ''Civil War & Restoration in Monmouthshire'', 2005, ISBN 1-904396-41-0〕
