Geocache Description:


The Abbey river, which runs to the sea here, is the longest river in the parish, rising close to the site of an Iron Age hillfort near Clovelly. This lonely valley was once the site of Blackpool Mill, although all that remains of the original building is the cottage you see. It is thought that the mill was owned by the nearby Hartland Abbey.

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.
