Built in 1791, Pinkhill Lock lies on the edge of Farmoor Reservoir in the vibrant Oxford landscape. The lock itself is particularly pretty and if you want to admire it for longer, you can even camp on the lock's island in the middle of the Thames – quite a unique site.

Pinkhill Lock is a picturesque lock on the River Thames, located between Eynsham and Oxford. It’s a peaceful spot, perfect for a riverside walk or a break while kayaking or paddleboarding. The lock is surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife, making it a great place to pause and enjoy nature.

Nearby, you’ll find Pinkhill Meadow, a nature reserve known for its rich biodiversity, particularly its birdlife. If you’re lucky, you might spot kingfishers or herons along the water. It’s a hidden gem for those exploring the Thames Path, offering a tranquil escape from busier sections of the river.
