The reconstructed packhorse bridge from Derwent Hall is a stone bridge of medieval origin located in Derbyshire, England. The structure dates from the period when packhorse routes formed a vital network for transporting goods across the upland regions of the Peak District and surrounding areas. The bridge was reconstructed following the flooding and submersion of the original Derwent valley landscape caused by the creation of Derwent Reservoir in the mid-twentieth century. As a surviving example of medieval transport infrastructure, it demonstrates the engineering methods employed for crossing watercourses on established trading routes, and its reconstruction represents an important effort to preserve evidence of the region's medieval commercial and communication networks.
