Pinkhill Lock, Lock and footbridge complex near Farmoor, England
The stone-built Pinkhill Lock spans the River Thames with a length of 34.59 meters and width of 4.90 meters, controlling water flow.
Daniel Harris constructed the first lock in 1791 for the Thames Navigation Commission, replacing a former weir owned by Lord Harcourt.
The Thames Path crosses through Pinkhill Lock head gates, connecting walkers to the northern bank and leading toward Stanton Harcourt.
Access to the lock requires following a track from Farmoor behind the reservoir, with no direct vehicle access to the camping area.
The lock area includes a five-pitch campsite on an island, accessible only by foot, bike, or paddle transportation.
