Wadebridge is a late medieval and 19th century bridge crossing the River Camel in Cornwall, England. The structure comprises a medieval stone bridge of the 15th century, which was substantially rebuilt and widened during the 19th century to accommodate increased traffic demands. The original medieval bridge is recognised as an important example of late medieval river crossing engineering in Cornwall, whilst the later modifications reflect the Victorian period's expansion of transport infrastructure. The bridge remains a significant survival that demonstrates both medieval construction techniques and subsequent industrial-era interventions to an important crossing point.
