On the short pound between Hurley and Temple Locks, Temple footbridge carries the towpath from the south bank to the north. It was built in 1989 replacing the previous ferry that had closed in 1953! Some maps still show the footpath but not the bridge, implying a walk on the water. The bridge has a height of 21'3" above mean water level at its centre (air draft in nautical parlance).
