Can be slippery and deep, wouldn't want to do this in winter.

Great Coffee Stop. Amazing Coffee and Cakes

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.

In autumn/winter months when this crossing can be dangerously deep take a footpath along the Thames which will allow you to cross via a footbridge and thereby gain access to the other side of this ford. It's quite fun!

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.

A bridleway crosses the River Thames at Duxford Ford. When river levels are low the ford is passable (Google has photos), but in April 2022 it was blocked by a large fallen tree and the river was flowing deep and swift. You may need to retrace your route. There's work in progress to restore the wetlands in this area - see https://www.bbowt.org.uk/chimney-meadows-wetland-restoration-and-fish-passage-project and scroll down for pictures of the ford.

Two great pub options at this bridge for some well earned fuel.

Beautiful quaint village appearing out of nowhere, great smooth roads too
