Geocache Description:

A lovely little bridge along the Monarch Way.   A replacement for a previously archived cache GC1T65Y MWS 2...Monarch Way South #2 .  The Monarch's Way is a 615-mile long-distance footpath that approximates the escape route taken by King Charles II in 1651 after being defeated in the Battle of Worcester..


This cache is now also part of the Little Bridges series. A simple but unusual stone bridge over the River Boyd.
 

The bridge when the cache was hidden (2017)

 

The bridge in September 2022.

 

The previous cache was very near the bridge. I've moved it a short distance away, partially to (hopefully) help avoid muggling, but also to make it a bit of a new experience for those who found the previous cache. Cache is best reached by following the small trail from the bridge on the south side of the stream.

There is some more information about the River Boyd on the page of my nearby Little Bridge #112 GC4728B
 


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. There is a stats listing, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here:- www.littlebridgesseries.co.uk . If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan via the Little Bridges website with your caching name, name of your Little Bridge and the GC code 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.
