Carries the A6108 over the River Ure between Middleham and Leyburn in North Yorkshire.

It was built as a suspension bridge with castellated turrets in 1830. Designed by Joseph Hansom and Edward Welch.

It suffered early damage, apparently due to resonant oscillation casued by a herd of cattle crossing the bridge, and was repaired.

In 1865 it was converted from a suspension to a wrought iron plate girder bridge. The ironwork was supplied by Head, Ashby and Co of Stockton-on-Tees.
