Geocache Description:


 

The Cut is a river in England that rises in North Ascot. It flows for around 14 miles (23 km), through the rural Northern Parishes of Winkfield,Warfield and Binfield on its way down to Bray, where it meets the River Thames just above Queens Eyot Island on the reach below Bray Lock.

The Cut is so named because it was diverted eastwards artificially in the early nineteenth century from its original course westwards to the River Lodden south of Twyford to alleviate flood risk.

The Cut has its source near Ascot Place in Winkfield. A number of small streams supply three ornamental lakes, which also receive water from Blackmoor Stream. Beyond the third lake, the stream passes out of the park grounds and under Braziers Lane. At Brockhill, it passes Brockhill House, where it feeds a lake which has been there since at least 1879.

 

This bridge crosses The Cut just after Braziers Lane. It is part of a small footpath which links Winkfield Row with Church Road. The footpath takes you around the external boundaries of the local Polo club.

 

You are looking for a disguised micro at the north side of the bridge.

 

 

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. https://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.
