This "Little Bridge" crosses the 'Danes Stream', a little stream that goes up west from Village centre in Milford-on-Sea. The Walk takes you up along a footpath following the stream through a wooden area called 'The Pleasure Grounds" From car parking westward along main road crossing the road bridge which is dated 1929 as rebuilt. Then turn into the Pleasure Gounds.
Follow this path along with the stream on your right, you will pass a seat on right, then up a little slope, whilst at top keep looking out high on right and in clearing spy a tall dead tree trunk with 'woodpeckers' nests pecked into the trunk, then behind this tree look higher and see a 'rooks' nest high in another tree. Whilst I was here a person walking her dog told me she had seen both nests of rooks and woodpecker being use this year, I saw nothing the day I was there, but would have been good to see them.
Continue onwards to find your "Little Bridge" which crosses 'The Danes Stream' down on your right side, The bridge has white painted metal hand rails.
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, Damian from Winter Foxes has created and updates a list of cachers who has 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 foot bridge 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.
