Geocache Description:

On a grassy (muddy during rainy periods) path down the hill to this little bridge over a small stream, in a lovely valley. Look out for other caches in the area!

Chatting with a friend who grew up in Woodchester I was told that the red brick building you can see from the bridge was a diphtheria house (for isolation of the sick).

Please bring a pen.

Woodchester is a Gloucestershire village in the Nailsworth (or Woodchester) Valley, a valley in the South Cotswolds in England, running southwards from Stroud along the A46 road to Nailsworth.

Woodchester is approximately at the midpoint, about two miles south of Stroud. It is divided into North and South Woodchester, with a side valley between the two settlements. There are pubs in both North and South and a post office with a shop in North Woodchester.

Woodchester is notable as the location of Woodchester Roman Villa.

The village's parish church of St Mary's was designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon. The nearby Woodchester Mansion is regularly open to the public and stands in a landscaped valley.

There are three waymarked walks.





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.
