Flow back in time...
... and explore the liquid history of the River Thames
The St Lawrence is water, the Mississippi is muddy water, but the Thames is liquid history
First described as 'liquid history' by the MP John Burns in 1929, the River Thames has hundreds of heavenly heritage sites all along it's 135 miles from the Cotswolds to the outskirts of London. From royal castles and historic palaces to medieval towns and stunning gardens - there's a wealth of experiences to enjoy on the UK's royal river! Many of the river's historic towns and attractions are easily accessible by train too, see www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk
