Bidford Bridge, Stone road bridge in Bidford-on-Avon, England.
The eight-arched bridge spans 230 feet across the River Avon, featuring seven large cutwaters that extend to road level and stone construction throughout its length.
Built in the early 15th century, the bridge incorporated stone from Alcester's demolished priory during 16th-century repairs and sustained damage during Charles I's retreat in 1644.
The bridge forms part of the Heart of England Way walking route, connecting communities on both sides of the River Avon for over six centuries.
Located on Honeybourne Road B4085, the bridge requires regular maintenance and undergoes periodic closures for repairs following structural assessments and vehicle impacts.
The bridge's width exceeds typical medieval packhorse bridge dimensions, indicating its construction specifically accommodated larger transport needs of the period.
