Hungerford Marsh Lock and swing bridge

Hungerford Marsh Lock is a lock on the Kennet and Avon Canal in Wiltshire at Hungerford. The county border with Berkshire runs along the path directly to the south of the lock.

The lock has a rise/fall of 8 ft 1 in.[1]

The lock is unique on the canal in that it has a swing bridge directly over the centre of the lock that must be opened before the lock can be used.
