Otley Bridge is a medieval stone bridge spanning the River Wharfe at Otley in West Yorkshire. The structure dates from the fourteenth century and represents a significant example of medieval bridge construction in the region. Built of ashlar stone with multiple arches, the bridge features characteristic medieval engineering with cutwaters designed to manage water flow and reduce structural pressure. The bridge has undergone repairs and modifications over subsequent centuries but retains its essential medieval form and remains an important crossing point in the town's topography and an evident survival of medieval civil engineering infrastructure.
