Leap —County Cork

At the northern extremities of Glandore Harbour lies the village of Leap. Leim Ui Dhonnabhain (Gaelic) derives from an ancient story of a local Chieftain O'Donovan, who while being pursued by enemies jumped the ravine and escaped, thus O'Donovan's Leap. To the west of the village, on the Skibbereen road, are the Shepperton Lakes, picturesquely set beneath the hills. These are very popular trout & fishing waters. Ballinlough Lake lies to the north.
Gerald O'Neill Sea Angling is located here.
