The Colly Brook has to be one of the real hidden gems of Dartmoor and almost certainly known to few except the locals and Dartmoor enthusiasts. It is under 2.5 miles from its source on the slopes of White Tor until it flows into the River Tavy. However, just before it reaches Peter Tavy it enters a narrow combe where the brook tumbles down multiple waterfalls as it reaches this little bridge.
The cache is not at the given coordinates but can be found at:

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:- www.littlebridgesseries.co.uk . If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan via the Little Bridges website with your caching name, name of your Little Bridge and the GC code 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.
