Bury Bridge

Bury Bridge is a stone crossing over the River Haddeo featuring four arches of varying shapes. Two arches are pointed while two are semi-circular, and the whole structure sits on solid abutments.

The bridge was built in the Middle Ages to connect communities across the river. It served as an important route along Fort Lane and has retained this role ever since.

The bridge shows how medieval builders worked with stone and constructed durable crossings. You can see the way the arches and supports fit together, revealing the craft of the period.

The bridge is accessible for pedestrians and light vehicles, providing a steady crossing. Plan time to walk around it and view the structure from different angles along the riverbank.

Very few medieval multi-span bridges of this type remain standing in England. This makes the protected monument a rare example of its construction style.
