Attraction Details |
Thames Path National Trail
The Thames Path follows England's best known river for 184 miles (294km) as it meanders from its source in the Cotswolds through several rural counties and on through the bustle of the City of London. Easy to reach by public transport, the Thames Path is accessible for walkers 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.
At the source of the River Thames in a field in the Cotswolds, there may be no water or just a trickle in dry weather but the trickle becomes a stream and soon a river bordered by willows and alders winding through water meadows grazed by cattle or sheep, or fields of crops.
Beyond Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, the river widens, the willows seem to grow larger, and settlements become more frequent. From Goring, where the Thames Path crosses The Ridgeway National Trail, the Chilterns provide a wooded backdrop and the Trail starts to get busier.
As the Thames Path passes beneath Windsor Castle, you are reminded that you are following a Royal river, and the palaces of Hampton Court and Kew soon to follow confirm this.
From the last non-tidal lock at Teddington, you can walk on either the north or south banks of the of the river through leafy Richmond and Kew, before entering the City and on to the final section amongst restored warehouses and working wharves of London's docklands.
