Halfpenny Bridge is a late 18th-century bow-backed bridge across the River Thames joining Lechlade, Gloucestershire with Inglesham, Berkshire. It carries the modern-day A361. It was called the Halfpenny bridge because until 1839 that was the toll charged for pedestrians to cross it. Both parapets carry a central panel with a line on it, to mark the county boundary. The bridge is within the council areas of Cotswold (Gloucestershire) and Swindon.
