Redmayne packhorse bridge is a stone bridge located in Yorkshire, England, constructed to facilitate the movement of goods across difficult terrain during the medieval and early modern periods. The structure exemplifies the functional design characteristic of packhorse bridges, which were built to accommodate the passage of laden pack animals rather than wheeled vehicles, featuring a narrow carriageway and robust arched construction. Dating from the medieval period, the bridge remains an important example of the transport infrastructure that supported trade networks across the Pennines and northern England. The monument is listed on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1004877.
