Wycoller packhorse bridge is a medieval stone bridge located in the village of Wycoller in Lancashire, England. The bridge dates from the fifteenth or sixteenth century and exemplifies the functional design of packhorse bridges that facilitated the movement of goods across the Pennines during the medieval period and beyond. Constructed from stone with a characteristically low arch and narrow roadway, the structure was engineered to accommodate the passage of packhorses and their laden panniers rather than wheeled vehicles. The bridge remains a significant example of vernacular transport infrastructure and reflects the commercial networks that connected Lancashire's textile communities with broader regional trade routes.
