Little Bridge #1600
Although this Bridge May look old and in keeping with the ancient surroundings it was actually erected in December 2018
The Bridge was placed to assist people walking this part of the Moor. Importantly this bridge crosses what was at times a difficult crossing. The Bridge is part of two popular Dartmoor walking routes: The Abbot’s Way (AKA The Jobbers path) running from Buckfast Abbey to Buckland Abbey and The two moors way which runs between Dartmoor and Exmoor.
The Icon is placed at the Bridge but the Cache is not located at the bridge but you will almost certainly need to cross it before or after you get this Cache depending on which direction you come from.
To Find the Cache you will need to answer these simple questions:
1. The Original Two Moors way runs from Ivybridge to Lynmouth a distance of 1AB miles.
2. The Two moors way can be extended to a coast to coast walk from Wembury to Lynmouth, a distance of 1CD miles.
CACHE IS LOCATED AT
N050 28. (D+B) A (D-B)
W003 53. A D (D-C)
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 run by Billiethecat, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here:- https://littlebridgesseries.wordpress.com/ . 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 # xxxx then the name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to stats list.
