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.

Well worth the detour for the full English at Oxford boat club

unfortunately cycling is prohibited 😐

This is where the Thames almost meets Farmoor Reservoir. As you hike along the footpath here, you are walking on a thin strip of land between the two waters. The Thames is vibrant and peaceful in the summer and you can walk along it as far as you like, on the Thames Path or, locally, the Oxford Greenbelt Way.

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 Meadow is a beautiful ten acre nature reserve with lagoons, perched between the reservoir and the loop in the river. See if you can spot the Club-tailed Dragonfly through the reeds.

An excellent gravel ride or walk circling the reservoir, it’s flat and open so can get quite windy in the open sections! The circular walk then leads back into the Thames.

Farmoor Reservoir is surrounded by beautiful countryside and woodland. The area is home to lots of birdlife, including black-headed gull, Eurasian coot, great cormorant, greylag goose, mute swans, tufted duck, white wagtail, mallard, plus more.
