Mounton Brook starts as a series of springs on the escarpment at Kilgwrrwg near Devauden several miles to the North. These springs coalesce to form the stream as it wends its way South across a gently undulating landscape with small stream valleys culminating in a steep sided valley as it travels around Shirenewton and through Mounton before meandering across fields around Pwllmeyric, Mathern and the local golf course on its journey towards the Severn Estuary.
This very sturdy footbridge crosses Mounton Brook in the meadows just outside the village of Pwllmeyric and is a popular area for duck races, building dams or just messing about in the water etc! Two public footpaths cross just past the footbridge; please be aware that at certain times of the year there will be livestock present in the field along the footpath to the bridge ... especially on occasion some curious bullocks! Please keep dogs on a lead and observe the Countryside Code.
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, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here: - https://www.littlebridgesseries.co.uk. If you would like to add to the series, please go to this site, on the tab Get Involved click number request and fill in the form. 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.
