Reach Above The Lock
The reach is only just over half a mile long. The Cleeve side of the river is occupied by large gardens stretching down the hillside with several boat-houses on the river. There are islands below Cleeve lock, with weirs between them, and these extend for some distance. On the Streatley side are meadows and woods.
The Thames Path, having crossed Goring Bridge to Streatley, continues through on the western bank to Cleeve Lock.

“then take off your flesh,
unpick the lock of your bones.
