One of the newer locks on the River Thames, Eynsham Lock was built in 1928. Like Pinkhill a little upriver, there's an island here which hosts a campsite. While the lock may be young, the nearby village of Eynsham is incredibly old – perhaps one of the oldest in the country and dates back to before 571AD when it was mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
