This cache, Adventure, is part of a trio of caches that will take you on a Magic Woodland Adventure (GCA5Z7G + GCA8KRD + GCA88NZ). Would be wise to have a camera phone, or pen and paper with you.
*** If you are attempting to find all three caches, having solved 'Magic' at home, the best order to do them is as follows. Find 'Woodland' first. Then start 'Adventure'. At Jays tree, head up steep slope to find 'Magic'. After that return to tree to finish 'Adventure'. ***
---------------------------------------------------------------
For this one, the cache is located next to this unusual sight:
A large protruding stone high on a bank with a downward-pointing tree above. You'll find the cache in a hole in a different tree, next to the roots of this downward-pointing tree.

1) How do you get there? Start at the posted coordinates - The eerie Dead Man's Pond.
2) Head down the path and head up the old stone staircase:
3) Stick to the left and up ahead you'll find a holy tree in the middle of the path.
4) Walk on ahead, down and up dip, then find the Tree of Jays to your right. Directly behind the tree, under a large stone on wall, tucked behind you'll find a container. Read instructions (for clarity you will be initially heading towards the river - approx south).
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: - Little Bridges Geocaching Series (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.
