Geocache Description:


An addition to the series started by Sparkymizen

Despite my best efforts, the origins of the name "Arthur's Bridge" remains a mystery. Originally it was the bridge that connected Woking and Horsell, however the relatively recent building of Lockfield Drive divided Horsell from the bridge and so cut Arthur's Bridge Road in Horsell off from its namesake.

Close to the bridge is a converted barn, believed to date from the 16th century. You may now find that this is a good spot for some refreshment on your walk down the towpath. This is also the site of a large gathering of canal barges over the Easter weekend each year.

Some stealth is required when locating the cache as this part of the towpath can get busy on sunny days. I've included a spoiler photo for those of you who want to use it. Please also bring your own pen.

Please do not attempt to access the cache from Lockfield Drive if you arrive by car. I would suggest that you find a spot in Bridge Barn Lane.
