Sheepwash Channel, Backwater channel in Oxford, England.
The Sheepwash Channel extends between the River Thames and Castle Mill Stream, connecting through Isis Lock near the Oxford Canal in west Oxford.
The channel formed a vital component of Oxford's waterway network, facilitating navigation and trade through its connection to the River Thames and local railway infrastructure.
The waterway creates connections between various Oxford neighborhoods, with Cripley Meadow and Fiddler's Island to the north and Osney Island to the south.
Visitors can navigate the channel by boat, with specific dimensions limited to vessels measuring 72 feet in length and 7 feet in width.
The Environment Agency manages this waterway, which features the Roger Dudman Way Footbridge and intersects with major railway lines at Sheepwash Channel Railway Bridge.
