Blunham Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Ivel in Bedfordshire. The structure dates from the 15th century and represents a significant example of late medieval bridge engineering in the region. The bridge retains its original pointed arches and cutwater design, characteristics typical of medieval crossing structures built to withstand floodwater. As a surviving example of medieval river infrastructure, Blunham Bridge demonstrates the importance of transport networks in medieval Bedfordshire and the technical capabilities of masons working in the period.
