Explore The Thames Path National Trail

The Thames Path National Trail is a wonderful way to explore the River Thames. 

This long distance walking route starts at the source of the river in a field in the Cotswolds and follows the banks of the Thames for 185.2 miles (298km) through several rural counties before entering the City of London and finishing finishing in Woolwich just a few miles from the sea. On its way the Trail passes through peaceful water meadows rich in wildlife, historic towns and cities such as Oxford, Reading, Henley, Marlow and Windsor, many lovely villages and some of the best known landmarks of London.

The Thames Path is a gentle Trail, able to be walked by people of all ages and abilities. This National Trail can be enjoyed in many ways, whether for an afternoon's stroll, a weekend's break or a full scale, but relatively gentle, trek of its whole length.  To walk the whole trail, using roughly 15 miles/24 Km a day as an average daily walking distance, the Trail can be completed in 14 days allowing for a couple of days’ rest.
