Torksey Lock is a canal lock on the Fossdyke Navigation Canal near Lincoln, England. It's a popular spot for leisure craft, wildlife watching, and walking. The Fossdyke Navigation Canal was originally dug in Roman times but was re-opened during the reign of James I. The lock controls the outfall to the River Trent.

Torksey Lock is where the Fossdyke navigation meets the River Trent. The lock is extra wide and long, in order to allow it to take bulky barges - with no less than six pairs of lock gates. Torksey Lock has tea rooms nearby and is a great place to watch river craft go by.

Relic from the past, bridge over the River Idle. Formerly allowing heavy machinery access to the old gravel pits. Just off the footpath, the bridge now ends in a field, but nice elevated views up & down the river.

"Off-Road" dusty (in summer) gravel road, accessible by car and wide enough to park on. Cuts across the middle of the Nature Reserve giving access to the heart of it.

The strange name reputedly originated when a woman baked a huge pie one Whitsunday for navvies digging the canal ..... however, recently discovered maps show a local field called Whitsunday Pie Field that pre-dates the canal.

To give it its Sunday name it's the King George VI Coronation Park. A lovely green space close to the centre of Retford town, Nottinghamshire.
