Ludford Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Teme near Ludlow in Shropshire. The structure dates from the 13th or 14th century and represents an important example of medieval bridge engineering, featuring multiple arches of ashlar stone construction. The bridge served as a critical crossing point on the route between Ludlow and the surrounding countryside, facilitating both local communication and through-traffic. Its survival to the present day, despite centuries of use and periodic maintenance, attests to the durability of medieval stone bridge construction and its continued importance to local topography and settlement patterns.
