Bakewell Bridge, Medieval stone bridge in Bakewell, England
The limestone bridge extends over the River Wye with five distinct arches and cutwaters, connecting different sections of the town through the A619 road.
Built around 1300, the bridge underwent modifications in the 19th century to accommodate increased traffic while maintaining its original architectural elements.
The Grade I listed structure represents medieval engineering methods and stands as a testament to local stone masonry techniques of Derbyshire craftsmen.
The bridge remains open to vehicles and pedestrians, providing essential access across the River Wye while offering views of the surrounding water landscape.
One of the bridge's cutwaters supports the base of an ancient cross, marking the structure's dual purpose as both transportation link and historical monument.
