West Sleekburn Lock is a minor waterways place on the River Wansbeck between Mouth of the Wansbeck (5¼ furlongs to the east) and Sheepwash Bridge (Weir stops further progress.) (2 miles and 2¾ furlongs to the west).

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes). Lock is full od debris and may not be functioning. Seaward side of the lock is tidal with a sandy bottom and beaches littered with rocks. Inland is muddy and silted banks. 1 mile inland is a pontoon at the Wansbeck rowing club. Upstream of the rowing club pontoon at wansbeck riverside park, grassy banks and footpath make mooring possable.
