![Aylesbury Arm – Lock No 5 - Looking East. This is a normal Aylesbury Arm [[1228440]] Lock. There is a single top gate, with the sluice in the side of the lock, and a pair of bottom gates with sluices in each. There is a safety ladder (modern) to allow one to climb out of the lock if one falls in when the lock is empty and the gates closed. Mooring points are provided in the lock and on the bank of the canal before and after the lock. This is the first lock since leaving Marsworth that does not have a board giving the lock name.In the distance one can just see the roof of the house at Black Jack's Lock [[1228944]][[1228440]].Exit to the West: [[1235879]].To the East [[1228949]]. by Chris Reynolds – 14 March 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/22/93/1229311_bdd37aee_120x120.jpg)

![Aylesbury Arm - Looking along the canal from Black Jacks Lock (No 4). The canal is now getting down to the level of the Vale of Aylesbury – and it can be seen how flat the landscape is. Before the Ice Age the Vale was actually the valley occupied by the River Thames, but the River was diverted south of the Chiltern Hills by the ice. There is a slight bend in the canal – but beyond the bend the Aylesbury Arm [[1228440]] is remarkably straight. by Chris Reynolds – 05 March 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/22/89/1228951_d55927e6_120x120.jpg)
