For several centuries, the bridge at this point has allowed travelers to effortlessly cross the River Aln. Although the distance from source to mouth is only about 40 kilometers, the river lends its name to both the town of Alnwick and the castle perched on a hill. Symbolically, the bridge structure is guarded by an elegantly crafted stone lion, which also serves as the heraldic animal of the local noble Percy family.

Vandring

Constructed in 1775 by John Adam, the Lion Bridge gracefully spans the River Aln in Alnwick. This stone bridge boasts four elegant arches, with a commanding focal point - the intricately crafted Percy Lion - gracing its center on the eastern side. The bridge's design is a castle-like aesthetic, harmonizing seamlessly with the presence of Alnwick Castle that stands sentinel nearby. Once a vital artery, the bridge bore the weight of the old Great North Road as it traversed the river Aln. This historic bridge has rightfully earned its Grade 1 Listing.
