URPoint Details
Lechlade is where the River Thames begins its working life, the Neptune like statue of Old Father Thames casts a majestic eye over St John's Lock, the highest navigable point of the great river.
The lock is still well used, today's traffic is largely pleasure craft river people seeking the quieter reaches of the Thames or visitors in small boats hired by the hour from Riverside Boatyard.
