Rivers Welland and Glen bridge heights

Water levels on the Welland and Glen may change after rainfall. When you approach a bridge you must make sure there is enough space between your boat and the roof of the bridge to allow your boat to pass safely.

The following table shows the distance between the standard water level and the highest point of the bridge. These distances are approximate and river levels fluctuate throughout the year.

Rivers Welland and Glen locks

There are 2 locks on the Rivers Welland and Glen. They are both staffed by the Environment Agency:

• Fulney Lock in Spalding, which marks the boundary between the non-tidal (or freshwater) River Welland with the tidal Welland
• Surfleet Sluice, which connects the River Glen to the River Welland

The river is tidal beyond Surfleet Seas End - only experienced sailors and boaters should go through this sluice and into the Wash.

You must not operate these locks yourself.

Call the river inspector before you arrive through the Environment Agency Customer Contact Centre on 0370 850 6506 (call charges).

Lock dimensions

Typically the locks on the Rivers Welland and Glen are 26m long and 4.6m wide.

Distances between locks

Distances and times between each lock based on the speed limit of 7 miles per hour and assumes that you will take 20 minutes to pass through each lock.
