Geocache Description:

This "Little Bridge" is a simple concrete beam structure crossing the River Smite just to the southeast of the village of Nether Broughton in Leicestershire.


The "Little Bridge"  lies about halfway on the remote public footpath running from Long Clawson in the northeast to Broughton Hill (near Wartnaby) in the southwest. This particular arm of the River Smite rises in a "chalybeate spring" (or iron-precipitating spring) known as "Holwell Mouth", which issues from the base of the steep Jurassic Limestone escarpment alittle way to the south.

The cache is a camouflaged micro-cache, containing only a log sheet. Therefore, you will need to bring your own pen to sign. Please be considerate of the environment when searching for it, and replace the cache exactly as found.

 

PLEASE keep dogs on leads, as some of the fields the paths go through contain livestock..

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 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 # xx then name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to Damian’s list.
