Goring Lock is a lock and weir situated on the River Thames in England at the Goring Gap in the Chiltern Hills. The lock is located on the Oxfordshire bank at Goring-On-Thames, with Streatley, Berkshire on the opposite side of the river. It is just upstream of Goring and Streatley Bridge.
The first lock was built in 1787 by the Thames Navigation Commissioners from oak and this was replaced in 1886. In the last rebuild in 1921 the lock had intermediate gates installed, making two pounds, but these were removed in the refit in 2003.
The weir runs back to an island under the bridge and then another weir goes from there to the Streatley bank.
Access to the lock
The lock is situated almost under the bridge and is easily accessible from both Goring and Streatley
Reach above the lock
The reach is only just over half a mile long.
The Thames Path crosses the bridge to Streatley and continues on the western bank to Cleeve Lock.
