Geocache Description:


Little Birdges - Stoke Park

The bridge itself is pretty nondescript, but a nice spot for a bimble and if you're lucky like me you might spot this guy pictured; a large grey heron or one of his mates in the many nearby ponds. I thought it was nice and a little unusual to spot one chilling in the city.

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: - Little Bridges Geocaching Series (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.
