Ivelet Bridge is a historic structure in Ivelet, a hamlet in North Yorkshire, in England.
The packhorse bridge over the River Swale was constructed in the late 16th century. [1] Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "the most romantic of the Swaledale bridges. One arch, rising very high and never widened". [2] It was grade II* listed in 1966. [1] The bridge was damaged by a vehicle in 2012, but was repaired ahead of the 2014 Tour de France passing nearby. [3]
The bridge is built of rubble, and consists of a single semicircular arch of voussoirs, surmounted by smaller stones forming a hood mould. The parapets have segmental coping, and they curve round at the northeast corner. [1] Immediately to its northeast is a separately listed Mediaeval stone slab, said to have been used to rest coffins being transported to the Church of St Andrew, Grinton. [4]
