Geocache Description:

This is one of the first "Little Bridges" caches in Cheshire, and is located near Iddenshall Rough, the moated site of a Saxon and medieval monastic grange that once belonged to Chester Abbey.


I hadn't heard of the Little Bridges series till I was down at a meeting of cachers in Wiltshire last week, where I was persuaded to help migrate the series up to Cheshire. So, alongside GC5W325 (Tarvin to Oscroft) and GC5W75E (Antrobus), these are the first of their kind in the county.

The bridge crosses a small stream.  To reach the cache you may have to get down on your belly, or descend down the slope.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!  I lost my car keys when hiding this cache.  I searched everywhere and couldn't find them, but perhaps you will have more luck.  Please keep your eyes open for them and let me know if you find them.  You'll get a reward!




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. There is a stats listing run by Bloodsock, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here:- https://littlebridgesseries.wordpress.com/. If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan on stanthews@aol.com 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 # xxxx then the name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to stats list.
