Warwick Bridge is a village in Cumberland on the River Eden upstream of the City of Carlisle. It forms part of a small urban area which includes the villages of Corby Hill and Little Corby.
The village to be found five miles east of Carlisle and four miles from Brampton. The bridge on the Eden, which gave the village its name, was built in 1837 by John Dobson. It is half a mile south of the point where the River Irthing, after some last, wild meanders, joins the Eden. The A69 passes through the village and crosses the River Eden here: across the bridge stands Warwick-on-Eden, the smaller village from which Warwick Bridge was born.
Churches
- Church of England: The Church of St Paul, at Holme Eden in the south of the village, beside the river
- Roman Catholic: Our Lady and St Wilfrid's Church, in the village centre (1841, by Pugin)
