About this title

Synopsis

Running for 180 miles from the river's source in rural Gloucestershire to Greenwich and the Thames Barrier, the Thames Path is one of the most popular and accessible of Britain's National Trails. It also offers a unique opportunity to walk through the nation's history from the dreaming spires of Oxford, past Windsor and Hampton Court and on through the heart of London to the towers of Dockland and beyond. This guide provides everything the walker needs, whether the intention is to cover to whole route from end to end or simply to find a location for a pleasant afternoon's walk beside the river. National Trail Guides are the official guidebooks to the fifteen National Trails in England and Wales and are published in association with Natural England, the official body charged with developing and maintaining the Trails.

From the Publisher

Running for 180 miles, from the river’s source in rural Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier, the Thames Path is England’s newest National Trail and one of the most varied and accessible of the country’s long–distance paths. Official waymarks lead the walker through tranquil water meadows, past the dreaming spires of Oxford and the pageantry of Windsor and Hampton Court, through the heart of the Capital, to London’s Docklands and beyond. This is the official guide to the Path—an invaluable companion for the long–distance walker and stroller alike. It contains: the entire route split into convenient sections; detailed Ordnance Survey maps and a precise route description of each section; details of bus and train access to the route; and a wealth of color photos.
