Location Details

Day's Lock is the main gauging station for measuring the flow of water in the River Thames. From the lock you can see two hills tops, these are the Sinodun Hills, commonly known as Wittenham Clumps.

Day's Lock is said to be the most historic place in Oxfordshire. There are many reasons for this: a hilltop fort was built by iron-age man on Castle Hill and when the Romans invaded they built a camp where the nearest town would be founded, Dorchester.

Above Day's Lock is Lake Field and just below is Thames Path.
