The highest mill on the Brook, records show that it was in existence by 1824, occupied by William Ashmead in 1840, and known as Upper Mill in 1882, by which time it was no longer in use. Keep an eye out for birds as you can often see grey wagtails and the occasional goldcrest, amongst the more common creatures. It’s a good area for brambles and elderberries in season too. This one is suitable for all-terrain buggies, but if you extend your walk to Little Bridges 821 Waghill and walk along the side of the former mill pond you might struggle: in wet weather this is a quagmire of epic proportions – you have been warned! Enjoy the cache.
Congrats to graham&linda, another FTF at 08.30 :)
After twice being muggled, and one when the host tree was brought down, this is my fourth attempt at replacing the cache! Co-ords will take you to the bottom of the steps: from there follow the hint. The cache is in a new location - please make sure both the cache and any sign of your route are well hidden when you replace it as found.
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.
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.
