Geocache Description:

This part of the Thames Path is not suitable for wheelchairs and can sometimes be flooded.

PLEASE NOTE: THE A419 IS A VERY BUSY ROAD, WE SUGGEST YOU USE APPROACH FROM OUR RECOMMENDED PARKING ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF CRICKLADE TOWN (N 51° 38.443 W 001° 50.947).


The Thames Path follows England's best known river for 184 miles (294km) as it meanders from its source in the Cotswolds through several rural counties and on to the City of London. On its way the Trail passes peaceful water meadows rich in wildlife, historic towns and many lovely villages, finishing at the Thames Barrier near Greenwich.


Calcutt is the location of two recurring haunting manifestations. The first is of several small white swine with red ears crossing the A419 and the second is a coach pulled by a team of four horses crossing over the bridge. Although completely different manifestiations, they both regularly appear on Christmas Eve. You have been warned!




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 blliethecat, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, which can be found here: Little Bridges Stats. 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 which is 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 the list.
