Twizel Bridge is a medieval stone bridge spanning the River Till near the village of Twizel in Northumberland. The bridge dates from the early fifteenth century and is constructed of sandstone with a single pointed arch, characteristic of bridge design from that period. It represents an important example of medieval river crossing infrastructure in northern England and retains substantial original masonry despite later repairs and modifications. The bridge's strategic location near the Scottish border and its enduring construction have made it a significant monument of medieval engineering.
