Levens Bridge is a medieval bridge crossing the River Kent near Kendal in Westmorland. The structure dates from the fifteenth century and represents an important example of late medieval bridge engineering in the Lake District region. Built of stone with a single arch, the bridge connects the valley settlements and has remained substantially intact through subsequent centuries, retaining much of its original fabric. The bridge's solid construction and enduring presence testify to the skilled masonry of its medieval builders and its continued significance to local communication routes.
