Moulton Packhorse Bridge crosses the River Kennett at Moulton in western Suffolk. It carries a public footpath only: once, as the name suggests, it carries the packhorses of the county's trade.

This stone-built bridge was built around the year 1446, but has 18th-century alterations. It is a bridge of four pointed arches.

The bridge today is a grade II* listed structure and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[1][2]
