Nestled within the charming Northumberland village of Corbridge, this historic bridge spans the River Tyne with timeless grace. Built in 1674 to replace earlier wooden structures lost to flooding, Corbridge Bridge remains a remarkable feat of 17th-century engineering. With its seven stone arches and elegant symmetry, the bridge has long connected communities across the Tyne Valley, witnessing centuries of local trade, travel, and everyday life. Its enduring presence offers a tangible link to the region's rich past, blending perfectly into the surrounding rural landscape.
