The Wales Coastal Path crosses a number of golf courses on its way around the coast of Wales in its 870 mile route. Here it turns inland and cuts across the local golf course at Mathern towards Chepstow and the end (or start!) of the Coastal Path.
This little bridge is part of the Wales Coastal Path where it joins / leaves the local golf course depending on your direction of approach! Whilst you can see and hear Mounton brook nearby the bridge actually crosses a field drainage ditch that I believe originates from the spring at Tewdric’s Well in Mathern.
The WCP skirts the 5th Green and 6th Tee before cutting across the fields towards Mathern Church.
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: - https://www.littlebridgesseries.co.uk. If you would like to add to the series, please go to this site, on the tab Get Involved click number request and fill in the form. 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.
