Description

A local legend suggests that Little Hangman, at least, was named after a sheep rustler, who threw a rope around a ram's neck and led it away, the flock following tamely behind. However, the ram made a run for it, and in its errant foolishness it plunged over the cliffs here, taking the rustler with it. As they fell, the rope caught on a rock, and in the morning a passing sailor was said to have spotted the man hanging from the rope, halfway up the hillside. However, perhaps the most likely explanation is that the hills are named after “an men”, Cornish for “the rock we made it to the top of the Hill and back, with Bern suffering with his Knee ,near Combe Martin Devon

I've always been impressed by the similarity of coastal Cornish landscapes with those from Brittany just opposite the Channel. A most beautiful capture, and interesting narrative.
