Withypool Bridge carries a small road over the River Barle at Withypool in Somerset, England. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]

The red sandstone bridge was built in the 19th century.[1] It replaced an earlier bridge 100 metres (330 ft) upstream of the current site and is therefore shown on some maps as "New Bridge".[2][3]

The bridge was restored in 1866 and again in 1983.[1]
