Kerne Bridge is a medieval stone bridge spanning the River Wye in Herefordshire, dating from the thirteenth or fourteenth century. The structure demonstrates characteristic medieval engineering with a single arch of substantial span, constructed in locally quarried stone. The bridge served as an important crossing point on routes through the Wye Valley, facilitating both local communication and longer-distance travel across the county. Its survival into the modern period reflects both sound medieval construction and successive maintenance and repair campaigns undertaken to preserve this strategic river crossing.
