Teston Bridge is a medieval bridge crossing the River Medway in Kent, constructed in the 14th century. The bridge comprises a series of stone arches and has been substantially rebuilt and repaired over subsequent centuries, particularly during the 16th and 17th centuries, though its medieval core remains evident in its fabric. Its strategic location made it an important crossing point for traffic between the Weald and the coastal regions of Kent throughout the medieval period and beyond. The bridge represents a significant example of medieval engineering and river crossing infrastructure, reflecting the importance of the Medway as a major transport route in Kent's medieval landscape.
