Warwick Castle Old Bridge (remains of) is a medieval bridge structure associated with the castle complex at Warwick in Warwickshire. The surviving remains date from the medieval period and represent part of the fortified castle's water defences and access arrangements across the River Avon. The bridge would have formed an integral part of the castle's strategic layout, controlling passage over the river which formed a significant natural barrier and moat to the fortress. The fragmentary nature of the remains reflects the substantial alterations and developments that Warwick Castle underwent across successive centuries, particularly during the medieval and early modern periods.
