Tanfield Bridge is a stone arch bridge located in County Durham, spanning the River Tanfield. The bridge dates from the seventeenth century and represents an important example of early modern masonry bridge construction in the region. Its single segmental arch and robust stone construction reflect the engineering practices of its period, and it remains a substantial structure that has served as a crossing point for local communication routes. The bridge survives as a significant monument to the development of transport infrastructure in the North East during the post-medieval era.
