Colaton Raleigh village is the place where Sir Walter Raleigh was baptized, not in the church, but in a now private house which belonged to the Bishop of Exeter at the time. It is a quiet village with good village shop and pub.
From here you can walk North to Newton Poppleford or South to Otterton. Keep an eye on the river for Otters and Beavers.
Across the bridge, the footpath leads to Northmostown and hence up to Mutters Moor or down to Ladram Bay.

Congratulations to deal or no deal for being 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, Damian from Winter Foxes has created and updates a list of cachers who has found 10 or more little bridges and can be found here if you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan on stanthews@aol.com 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 # xx then name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to Damian’s list.
