Keynsham Lock, River lock in Keynsham, England
The lock functions as part of the Bristol Avon Navigation system, situated between a weir and an island that contains visitor moorings and a pub.
The lock commenced operations in 1727 as part of the Bristol Avon Navigation project, stretching 15 miles from Hanham Lock to the Bristol Channel at Avonmouth.
The Grade II listed Lock Keeper pub, established in 1719, stands near the lock and served as a strategic guard post during the English Civil War.
The location provides convenient access to both Bristol and Bath, with a distance of approximately 10 minutes from each city by road transport.
The lock marks the point where the River Chew meets the River Avon, creating a natural confluence next to the island between the lock and weir.
