Leap pronounced “Lep” by the locals is from the Irish translation of “Leim Ui Dhonnabhain” to “O Donovans Leap”. This is so called because a chieftain of that name who was pursued by English soldiers is reputed to have jumped across the ravine at the bottom of the village
A series of all year round events happening in Leap Village, West Cork, down the Wild Atlantic Way. From music sessions, scarecrow festivals to fairs and matches… beyond the Leap, beyond the Law.
