A medieval stone packhorse bridge that crosses the River Avon some 550m downstream from Bradford-on-Avon's better-known — and larger — Town Bridge.
Barton Bridge has four pointed double ring arches. Its three piers have massive upstream cutwaters — the downstream side is plain. The width is 3.5m between the railings that have replaced the original stone parapets.
The bridge now carries just a footpath. It forms part of a group of remarkable medieval buildings, including the town's significant 14th century tithe barn, all contained within Barton Farm Country Park, which is freely accessible to the public.
