Ellastone Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Dove in Derbyshire. The bridge dates from the medieval period and represents a significant example of medieval river crossing infrastructure in the East Midlands. Constructed in stone with a single arch or multiple arches typical of medieval bridge design, it would have served an important function in local communications and trade routes across the river valley. The bridge remains a notable survival of medieval civil engineering and contributes to the archaeological understanding of medieval settlement patterns and infrastructure development in Derbyshire.
