The Packhorse bridge alongside the ford is a 13th century double arched pedestrian bridge over Potton Brook, a tributary of the River Ivel.

The bridge built from local sandstone is thought to be the only surviving one of its type in Bedfordshire.
One source states that it was situated on an important wool trade route to the towns of Bedford and Dunstable.
However, another source disputes this and is of the opinion that the bridge's origins lie with the creation of Sutton Park and the relocation of the village.
	
Previously in private hands, Bedfordshire County Council assumed responsibility for the bridge in 1941.
Repairs carried out in 1986 earned the council a Civic Trust award in 1988.
