Castle Bridge

In 1788, the Earl of Warwick, George Greville had obtained an Act of Parliament to build a new bridge over the Avon. The bridge was built between 1790 and 1793, at a cost of around £3,258, some 400 metres east of Warwick Castle. It consists of a single arch made from sandstone.^[2]

It replaced an older medieval bridge further downstream, which became known as Old Castle Bridge and is now a ruin.
