Day's lock is at a place called Little Wittenham along the Thames near Dorchester. I went along there with my son to get some photos of the lock and other interesting places nearby.
After parking near the church you follow the path along here towards the bridge you see. There is another one after this I did not get a photo of which is the Poohsticks bridge of at least was, the arch bridge I remember has been replaced by a flat decked bridge that is able to support traffic to the Environment Agency compound there
Skipping a bit here and over the third bridge this is from the bridge looking towards Dorchester and the abbey there
This is Days lock which is to the right
The arch span I took the photos from
The weir with a lot of water flowing through it
Not something you would want to fall in
You can just see Poohsticks bridge in the distance which is not as romantic as the old wooden one. No doubt kids still play pooh stick there
This is the bridge I took the photos from earlier
Time to head back over the bridge past the Lock Keepers cottage You can see more photos around the lock on Skywatch Friday
Take Care and have a good week

A picturesque part of the river Bill. I remember that Weir from walking the Thames path in 2013.
It's all really pretty, I'm interested to know the history behind Poohsticks bridge though.
Some how I thought that might catch your attention
