A place a day byards leap
Byard’s leap
Site where a blind horse Byard killed Old Meg the witch with a 60 foot leap
Unafraid of her appearance on account of his blindness byard was the chosen stead for the journey to Old Meg’s lair.
The horse was not, however, immune to the witches sharp nails, jabbed into his rear.
Four Horseshoes mark the spot, from which byard leapt, and another four 60 feet away, mark the site upon which byard landed. It is at the end of the leap, the landing spot where old Meg was crushed beneath byard’s hooves and killed.
