Please note that during the spring and summer months, the grassy banks here can grow quite long and may have nettles! We recommend wearing waterproof trousers when the weather has been wet and appropriate footwear for your visit.
Tanvats and Sots Hole are very isolated but access across the Delph to Blankney Fen was provided by a wooden footbridge which was later replaced by a rope footbridge in 1937. After 1975 access to Blankney Fen was via an infill bridge as pictured above.

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.
