The village of Egton Bridge lies on the River Esk, between the villages of Glaisdale and Grosmont. Egton Bridge is the setting for the oldest surviving gooseberry show in the country, established in 1800. The show is held on the first Tuesday in August each year by the Egton Bridge Old Gooseberry Society.
In the neighouring village of Egton, the Egton Horse and Agricultural Society runs agricultural show on the third Wednesday in August. This is one of the largest country shows in England runs by a band of voluntary helpers.
Egton Bridge has strong connections with the Father Nicholas Postgate who was born there. Just to the west of the bridge in the garden of a house is a stone pillar commenorating the birthplace of Nicholas Postgate. The Roman Catholic Church of St Hedda's is located in the village. It contains the relics of Nicholas Postgate, a martyr executed in 1679, for continuing to practise his faith.
The bridge close to the cache was open in 1993 and built to resemble the original structure of 1758 which was largely destoryed by a flood in 1930.
