Bridge Head Tower, Warkworth
Bridge Head Tower, Warkworth
The medieval bridge at Warkworth is believed to be the only surviving fortified bridge in England. The guard chamber was used as the village lock-up in the C18th. The bridge was by-passed for vehicular traffic by the construction of the modern bridge immediately downstream.

The Bridge Head Tower is a Grade II Listed Building (List entry Number: 1154927): LinkExternal link
