Where on earth did this name come from and how do you
pronounce it? I’ve seen the name also spelt Rumley Gower so as far as
pronunciation is concerned that covers it perfectly. I’ve also seen the
name “Crags of Rumley Gower” so the name being plural probably covers an
area rather than just one rock. In this area there are a couple of humps
that split two “shores” and I believe it’s those humps (or at least one
of them) that Rumblegurr refers to.
It was here that the vessel
Alirmay was shipwrecked in
the late 1940’s and where their crew had a narrow escape by way of the
local cliffs. I’m convinced that when we had a couple of creels stuck
fast on the seabed back here in the 1970’s and were never able to
retrieve them, the reason was they were tangled up within the remnants
of the wreckage of this vessel.
