A visit to Gunthorpe Lock is a blissful way to spend an afternoon and be sure to pack a picnic if the weather is good. An important river crossing for many years, the first Gunthorpe Bridge was built in 1875 but before this a ferry was the only means of crossing the river here. Visitors can discover more about the lock from the interpretation panel and listening post on site. Disabled visitors enjoy excellent access, with ample car parking and a wide towpath.
