The King's Stanley Series will be a circular route that takes you along the footpaths around the picturesque Cotswold village of King's Stanley. As yet, it is not a circular walk, but is still a pleasant stroll along public footpaths, over narrow bridges, through kissing gates and over stiles. The intention is to add to the series to complete the circular route.
Unfortunately, it is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs and the terrain can be very muddy, so suitable footwear is advised.
At the time of placing the first 5 caches in the series (following a period of heavy rainfall) the route was very muddy. However, our geo-kids loved playing in the sticky mud and stream and then later finishing up in the play ground. So, from that perspective, we would say that this route is geo-kid friendly.
The route took us through a couple of fields where there were horses grazing - which although didn't pose any kind of safety issue to us passing through - we would highly recommend that any geo-hounds be kept on leads so as not to potentially cause upset to the horses. (This was just through the first couple of fields though)
The cache container does not contain a pencil so you will need to bring your own.
You are looking for a small black taped container which contains only a logbook.
Congratulations to Grandad Fuzyface and SupperNan for their FTF
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.
