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.

Opened in 1897, Fledborough Viaduct consists of 59 arches spread either side of four metal girder spans which cross the river itself. Nine million bricks were used in its construction which cost £65,000, which seems like quite good value in today's money.

A great track , starting at Fledborough where High Marnham power station was located and going to Braeford Wharf in Lincoln City centre.Twenty five miles return trip if you park at Fledborough.Parking there is fine in the side road.

Travelling East, the Fossdyke Canal Trail begins (or ends if you're travelling West!) at Saxilby. This traffic free path follows what is most likely the oldest canal in England that is still in use, thought to have been built around 120AD by the Romans. The road is parallel to the trail on the opposite bank for a short distance before heading South-East to Skellingthorpe.

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.

If you carry on through Skellingthorp you come to the Pyewipe pub, or you can carry on the Lincoln. Harby has a nice pub as well, there’s a theme here?

The Trent can be crossed at Torksey, there is also an old viaduct there. The only trouble is that it has a stile and steps at each end. At the Cottam side it is a grass field then a rough track that leads to Rampton. Sustrans is working on it.
