Edisford Bridge, Medieval road bridge in Clitheroe, England.
The structure spans the River Ribble with nine arches, featuring pointed cutwaters and Gothic-style architecture constructed from local sandstone materials.
Dating back to 1339, the bridge received a pontage grant and replaced an earlier timber crossing, expanding from its original width of 2.44 meters.
The bridge's name derives from 'nobleman's ford', marking a strategic crossing point where King David of Scotland's forces battled Lancastrians in 1139.
Located one mile west of Clitheroe Castle, the bridge connects to the A671 road and provides access to nearby camping facilities at Edisford Bridge Farm.
The largest arch segment measures 17.95 meters across and rises 4.2 meters, displaying three visible ribs under the main Gothic-styled structure.
