Eynsford Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Darent at Eynsford in Kent. The bridge dates from the early Norman period, likely constructed in the late eleventh or early twelfth century, making it one of the oldest bridges of its kind in England. It is built of stone with a single arch and retains much of its original medieval fabric, though it has been repaired and modified over subsequent centuries. The bridge served as a vital crossing point for traffic between the settlements on either side of the river and remains an important example of early medieval bridge engineering in the south-east of England.
