Dobbs Weir Lock

Dobbs Weir Lock measures 85 feet in length and 16 feet in width, enabling boats to navigate different water levels on the River Lea through manual operation.

The lock emerged as part of the River Lee Navigation system in the 18th century, supporting the transportation of goods between London and agricultural regions.

The lock and its surrounding paths form a section of the Lea Valley Walk, where visitors participate in recreational activities such as walking, cycling, and fishing.

The Canal & River Trust maintains this lock, which features a water level difference of 7 feet 11 inches and provides essential navigation services for vessels.

Located 26.3 miles from Bow Creek and 0.8 miles from Hertford Castle Weir, this lock creates a habitat for numerous water birds and aquatic species.
