The Thames Path - a journey through English history

The Thames Path, a National Walking Trail from the source of the river in the south Cotswolds, through prosperous and historic towns west of London, to the capital city and the Thames Barrier in the east. 

Easy walking along the flat Thames Valley. Some walk the full distance of 184 mile (294 km) in one trip, others walk part of the trail.

A great walking tour for people who like history, passing by Oxford University, Abingdon Abbey, Henley the home of the Royal Regatta, Windsor Castle, the Houses of Parliament, St Pauls, the Tower of London and many other famous sites.

Happy hiking
Anne
