Orton Mere Lock — photo spot in HP69+35, Peterborough PE3 6TN, UK
Orton Mere Lock
Orton Mere Lock offers classic canal compositions: weathered lock gates, still water reflections, passing narrowboats and the adjacent footbridges and marshy reedbeds. Best at golden hour or misty mornings for soft light and calm water; sunset casts warm tones on wood and metal. Easily reached by car (near Ferry Meadows parking) or by public transport; no entry fee. Expect walkers and occasional boat traffic — weekdays and early mornings are quiet.
