The
pinnacle from which Geoffrey leapt to his death
If
you take a trip around the North-East of the island, you will see
a huge rock at Anne Port, called Geoffrey's Leap.
No-one really
knows who Geoffrey is, but we know that he committed a crime -
and that his punishment was to be thrown off a high rock at Anne
Port.
Crowds came
to watch Geoffrey die, and the executioner hurled him off the rock. But
Geoffrey survived, and swam ashore.
Some of the
crowd argued that he should be allowed to live, and others that he should
be thrown off again.
Geoffrey
settled the argument, by saying that he would jump off the rock himself
to show how easy it was. But this time, Geoffrey hit the rocks below,
and died.
