Bridge at Haydon Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Tyne in Northumberland. The structure dates from the fourteenth century and represents an important example of medieval bridge engineering in the North East of England. Built with characteristic rounded cutwaters and constructed from stone, the bridge has been substantially rebuilt and repaired over the centuries, particularly during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, though its medieval core remains evident in parts of its fabric. The bridge served as a crucial crossing point on the principal route through the Tyne valley and remains in use as a public highway today.
