A fantastic bridge that I felt should be added to this series. This bridge brings back quite a few memories from my younger days.
The old Bridge of Carr was built in 1717 at a cost of £100 and the construction took 6 months. It was used by foot passengers & horses. It was also the route used for taking coffins across the river to Duthil cemetery thus giving it the name (Coffin Bridge) by the locals. It is now known as Old Packhorse Bridge.
To find the final you will need to to work out a few things
There is a yellow warning sign with 4 words, take away the number of letters in the 4th word from the number of letters in the 3rd word = A
How many seats = B
The number of the cycle route = C
At the viewing platform there is a metal barrier, how many sections minus C = D
A,B,C,D should = 11
The final can be found at N 57° 17.A0B' W 3° 48.C3D' Don't forget your pencil you will need it to get the cache as it's a homemade cache.
The cache is on the outside of a friend's fence and they are aware of the cache, the cache is away from the windows so you will not be overlooked when retrieving the cache.
The Little Bridges series was started by Stanthews in 2009 to highlight small footbridges in remote parts of Wiltshire. Since then the series has been expanded by others all over the country and starting to spread fast, Damian from Winter Foxes has created and updates a list of cachers who has found 10 or more little bridges and can be found here, if you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan here and he will give you a number for your bridge, to qualify, the bridge must be a foot bridge too small for vehicles, please make sure your title exactly matches “Little Bridges # xx then name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to Damian’s list.
