Bakewell Bridge is a Grade I listed[1] stone arch bridge spanning the River Wye in Bakewell, Derbyshire. The bridge is also a scheduled monument.
The bridge dates back to the 14th century and was constructed using ashlar gritstone. The bridge has five arches with cutwaters, one of which supports the base of a cross,[1] and was widened in the 19th century.[3][4] It carries the A619 road, which begins in Bakewell and leads via Chesterfield to Worksop in Nottinghamshire.[5]
