Packhorse Bridge is a stone arch bridge located in Lincolnshire, England, dating from the medieval period. The bridge was constructed to facilitate the movement of goods transported by packhorses along established trade routes, serving as essential infrastructure for commerce in the region during the Middle Ages. Its modest single arch design is typical of packhorse bridges of the period, built with durable stone construction to withstand regular use by laden animals and the passage of time. The bridge represents an important survival of medieval commercial infrastructure and demonstrates the established trading networks that connected Lincolnshire to wider markets during this era.
