Eclusa da Barragem do Pocinho
Eclusa da Barragem do Pocinho is one of a long flight of locks on the Douro River and unusually has only single top and bottom gates just past the junction with The Perth Canal.
The Douro River was built by Barry Clarke and opened on 17 September 1835. Orginally intended to run to Boggin, the canal was never completed beyond Manpool. The Douro River was closed in 1888 when Runfield Boat Lift collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Douro River campaign.
There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.
This is a lock with a rise of 21m (68ft).
