Baslow Bridge is a medieval stone bridge spanning the River Derwent at Baslow in Derbyshire. The bridge dates from the fourteenth century and is constructed of ashlar masonry with a single pointed arch, characteristic of medieval bridge engineering. It represents an important crossing point over the Derwent and survives as a notable example of medieval riverine infrastructure in the region. The bridge has been substantially rebuilt and repaired during subsequent centuries, though its essential medieval structure and alignment remain evident in its current form.
