Thorp Arch Bridge, Grade II listed bridge in Thorp Arch, England

The limestone structure extends across the River Wharfe with five segmental arches and features triangular cutwaters that form pedestrian spaces along the parapet.

Constructed in 1770, the bridge connects the parishes of Thorp Arch and Boston Spa, serving as a vital crossing point for over two centuries.

The bridge forms part of the architectural heritage that defines the character of West Yorkshire, alongside other historical structures in the area.

Pedestrians and vehicles can access the bridge from both Thorp Arch and Boston Spa, with designated spaces for walkers to step aside.

The structure incorporates chamfered copings beneath its parapet and contains a distinctive curved wall terminating in a rounded pier at its northern end.
