The Old Lower Hodder Bridge is a medieval stone arch bridge spanning the River Hodder near Whitewell in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire. The bridge dates to the fourteenth century and represents an important crossing point in the upland landscape of medieval Lancashire. Constructed of roughly coursed stone with a single arch, the structure demonstrates the engineering practices of later medieval bridge building. The bridge remains substantially intact and serves as evidence of medieval infrastructure development in this remote region, though its exact original form has been modified through subsequent repairs and maintenance.
