Castle Bridge, Grade II* listed road bridge in Warwick, England
Castle Bridge is a single-arch sandstone viaduct that spans the River Avon and connects local areas across this waterway. The structure was built using Georgian design principles and carries vehicles and pedestrians across the water today.
The structure was built in the 1790s following parliamentary approval and replaced an earlier medieval bridge located downstream. The new construction provided a more reliable crossing and has been in continuous use since then.
The bridge displays typical Georgian architectural features and served as a vital crossing point for movement through Warwick over many generations. It remains a recognizable part of how people navigate across the river in this area.
The bridge is located about 400 meters east of Warwick Castle and is easily accessible on foot or by vehicle. You can cross it free of charge at any time, as it functions as part of the public road network.
The medieval bridge that this structure replaced still partially remains visible as ruins in the river below. These older remnants with their visible arches show how long people and goods have crossed at this location.
