River South Tyne at Old Haydon Bridge

The old six-arched stone bridge in Haydon Bridge was constructed in 1776 but was partly rebuilt following later collapses. A new concrete bridge to its east (from where this photo was taken) which took the A69 main road across the river was opened in 1970 although that route now bypasses the town on the south side of the river. The old bridge has been restored for pedestrian use and is Grade 2 listed.
