Northmoor Lock

The lock structure extends 34.59 meters in length and 4.59 meters in width, creating a water level difference of 1.24 meters on the River Thames

The Thames Conservancy constructed Northmoor Lock in 1896 to replace the previous Hart's Weir flash lock, located one mile upstream from the current position

The lock forms an integral part of the Thames Path, a National Trail that follows the entire length of the River Thames through the English countryside

Access to Northmoor Lock requires a substantial walk across fields from the village, with the nearest entry points along the Thames Path from Bablock Hythe

The adjacent weir maintains one of two remaining complete Paddle and rymer manual operating systems for water control on the River Thames
