Eynsham Lock, River lock and footbridge in Oxfordshire, England
Eynsham Lock spans the River Thames near Swinford, positioned 2.38 kilometers downstream from Pinkhill Lock and 4.37 kilometers upstream from King's Lock.
The Thames Conservancy constructed this pound lock in 1928, replacing an earlier weir and flash lock that belonged to Eynsham Abbey.
The lock serves as a meeting point where people gather to watch vessels navigate through the water control system and assist with lock operations.
The lock measures 34.51 meters in length and 4.97 meters in width, with a water level drop of 0.84 meters for vessel navigation.
A permissive path enables pedestrians to cross both the lock and weir, connecting the surrounding walking trails along the River Thames.
