Geocache Description:


We enjoyed a holiday in Dorset earlier this year and were able to find a handful of 'Little Bridges' caches during our stay. While walking along this path, we thought that this tucked-away bridge would make an addition to the series, in a county where such caches are a little thin on the ground.

[See also GC7P2VX - # 1469, for when placed, the only other in South Yorkshire]

Of fairly recent wooden construction, the bridge crosses a drainage ditch, which runs from West to East through the village. This may be noticed alongside Trundle Lane, where the front entrance to a number of properties is via a crossing over the deep ditch. The land here is very low-lying, being just a few metres above sea level.


The bridge can be reached via paths from Pinfold Lane (look out for the Public Footpath signs). The pathway can also be accessed from the churchyard by entering via the stone stile, or gate at the junction of Church Street and Church Lane and walking around to the pedestrian gate at the North-Eastern corner.

Note that the cache is not located on the bridge itself.







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. There is a stats listing run by Billiethecat, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here: - https://littlebridgesseries.wordpress.com/. If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan on stanthews@aol.com 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 # xxxx then the name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to stats list.
