Slater's Bridge is a traditional packhorse bridge in Little Langdale in the English Lake District. The bridge dates back to the 17th century and became a listed building in 1967.
Built of slate, it consists of a 15-foot (4.6 m) segmental arch and a flatter span built of slabs and incorporates a natural boulder in midstream. The bridge is thought to have been created by miners working in the nearby Tilberthwaite Fells.
Alfred Wainwright called it "the most picturesque footbridge in Lakeland, a slender arch constructed of slate from the quarries and built to give the quarrymen a shorter access from their homes".
