Newbury Lock

Highlight • River

Built in 1796, this impressive lock is still in perfect working order. It's part of the Kennet and Avon Canal, and can be found right in the centre of Newbury. The lock is a grade II-listed structure and was originally the most easterly lock on the canal before it was extended.

Statue of Queen Victoria, Victoria Park

Highlight • Structure

A pretty park in Newbury, Victoria Park has been at the centre of town life for over a century. Originally called The Marsh, the park changed its name at the turn of the 20th century to reflect the popularity of Queen Victoria at the time. Until 1930, the park was designated common land used to graze cattle. Today, the park houses a bandstand, tennis courts, bowls club, skatepark, and boating lake, with a statue of Queen Victoria in the middle of the park.
