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.
