Ashness Bridge is a traditional stone-built bridge on the single-track road from the Borrowdale road (B5289) to Watendlath, in the English Lake District, Cumbria.^[1][2]

The bridge is at grid reference NY270196, and is known for being a fine viewpoint across Borrowdale towards Skiddaw, including views of Derwent Water nearby.^[3]

It or its predecessor may have been a packhorse bridge^[3] conveying packhorse traffic from Watendlath to Keswick.^[4]

Near the bridge is a small cairn to Bob Graham, who ran a round of 42 Lakeland peaks in 1932 in under 24 hours, a record which was not equalled for 28 years.^{[citation needed]}

The area is owned by the National Trust.^[3]
