Benson Lock

About

Benson Lock's history goes back into the late 1300s, when a mill and weir were recorded. It wasn't until 1788 that the first timber lock was built and in turn this was converted to a stone lock in 1870. There used to be a ferry operating here, but this stopped running when the weir walkway and lock gates became available to the public.

Why not start a boating holiday from nearby Benson Waterfront with Le Boat or Bygone Boating.
