The Story
Lovers’ Leap has several incompatible versions of a tragic-couple legend. Haunted Places records alleged screams around the cliff and a glowing white horse seen in the park. The couple’s identity and whether their story describes any historical event remain uncertain; the overlapping tales are kept together as one location.
