    Running

    Watch canal boats navigate up and down the river at the picturesque Iffley Lock.

    Iffley Lock was built in 1632.

    When the lock was rebuilt in 1924 it was opened by Lord Desborough, then Chairman of the Thames Conservancy. This is commemorated by a small stone block bridge and landing stage which carries a large bronze bull’s head and coat of arms; it’s the ‘starting ring’ presented to the Oxford University Boat Club.

    Iffley marks the starting point of organised rowing races - there are around 10 regattas every year - in Oxford.

    A wonderful running route along the canal with pretty houseboats, there is almost always rowing on the canal 😃
