Mordiford Bridge is a medieval stone bridge crossing the River Wye near the village of Mordiford in Herefordshire. The structure dates from the 12th century and represents an important example of Romanesque bridge construction, featuring characteristic rounded arches typical of that period. The bridge has undergone various repairs and modifications over the centuries, including substantial nineteenth-century restoration work that has altered some of its original medieval fabric. Its survival as a functional crossing illustrates the enduring engineering principles of medieval bridge builders and its continuing role in the landscape reflects the strategic importance of river crossings in medieval settlement patterns.
