The Thames Path

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.
