The Hall Bridge at Wycoller is a medieval packhorse bridge located in the Pennine valley settlement of Wycoller in Lancashire. The bridge dates to the sixteenth century and represents a characteristic example of the simple stone construction typical of routes serving the textile-working communities and moorland settlements of the region. Its modest span and rubble stone construction reflect its original function in connecting the dispersed farms and mills of the valley, facilitating the movement of goods and people across Wycoller Water. The bridge survives as part of the broader archaeological landscape of Wycoller, which contains remains of considerable medieval and post-medieval occupation.
