GC2YM7Z Little Bridges # 65 - Fourteen Acre Wood (Traditional Cache) in South West England, United Kingdom created by TheStickyLabel

This cache has been archived.

TheStickyLabel: After much thought and to my regret, I have decided to put this series to rest for several reasons.
1.. The problems that are occurring with the farm dogs (the public footpath runs through here). Two people have been bitten that I know of.
2.. The cows that are around are becoming more intimidating.
3.. The sheep have been known to be a bit aggressive.
4.. The dog in the courtyard (between 15 and 16) that the public footpath runs through is not over friendly and is always there.
5.. The MUD!!!! This has at certain times forced walkers to retreat and give up.
I myself, have become very wary now of the animals when checking my caches, sadly, this one has to go - a shame as it is in a quiet, un-spoilt part of our lovely countryside.

Geocache Description:

LITTLE BRIDGES # 65 - FOURTEEN ACRE WOOD
There are two little wooden bridges here that take you over a lovely stream running between Northcote Wood and Fourteen Acre Wood. I have added this to the Clifton Circular walk as it was too good to miss out in this really pretty valley.
The cache is between GC2YM7J (Clifton Circular 16 - Mary Had A Little Lamb) and GC2YM87 (Clifton Circular 17 - Jack And Jill)

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 is starting to spread fast. Damian from Winter Foxes has created and updated a list of cachers who have found 10 or more little bridges and can be found here. If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan here and he will give you a number for your bridge. To qualify, the bridge must be a footbridge too small for vehicles. Please make sure your title exactly matches “Little Bridges # xx then name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to Damian’s list.
Please add this to your listing.

CLIFTON CIRCULAR
This circular walk of 21 caches with a Little Bridges cache included, starts off in the sleepy village of Clifton near East Down, North Devon where all you will find is a Public House, village hall, post box, telephone box, a couple of farms and some quaint cottages.
I am naming this walk the Clifton Circular and all the caches are named after nursery rhymes as I used to love them as a child and as my family already know, I am a bit sad and mad!
Anyway, YOU MIGHT WISH TO WEAR WELLIES on this walk as there are several very muddy patches of land and one extremely very deep muddy area between caches 8 and 9 in a gateway that is unavoidable. It is like quicksand so please be very careful and don't leave your wellies behind as the mud tries to suck you down!
Other than that, you should really enjoy this little walk which takes roughly 2 hours give or take.
You will encounter plenty of livestock so PLEASE, dogs on leads!
There are:
15 metal gates
6 wooden gates
1 set of steep stone steps - not particularly dog friendly
1 set of steep wooden steps - not particularly dog friendly
2 wooden stiles - unfortunately not dog friendly
Not having a dog myself, I wouldn't know if these could be tackled - I would say not unless you can pick your dog up.
Please take your litter home with you.
Please leave any gates as you find them.
Please keep to the public right of way throughout the walk, thank you.
There is FREE car parking at the Village Hall and I would say there are just enough ups and downs with a little bit of quiet country lane walking while the rest is woodland, fields and running streams with some wonderful views.
For parking see Clifton Circular 1 - Hot Cross Buns (GC2YBGD)
Have fun!!
