The Blackbrook River is one of several tributaries of the West Dart and has its head about 4.5 miles further upstream to the south of Conies Down. This bridge was built to enable fishermen to be able to cross the Black Brook River in order to continue fishing along the West Dart River which is a very short distance downstream. Unfortunately the bridge is beginning to deteriorate but although now sloping appears to be very sound and there is a handrail along its full length. Please take special care with young children.
I would like to thank the Dartmoor National Park Authority for their kind permission to place this cache, which has been placed according to the geocaching guidelines.
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.
