Description
The Thames Path explores all 185 miles of Britain's longest river. This gorgeous, inspiration-packed guidebook shares the best adventures and places to eat and sleep from source to sea.
From Hammersmith and Fulham all the way to Wiltshire and Swindon, the Thames Path offers access to England’s longest river and an opportunity to experience some of England’s most accessible, unique, and fun outdoor activities. It’s no wonder the Thames Path is one of the most popular of our National Trails.
Stephen Neale spent more than a year wandering, camping, and occasionally drying his socks along the entire 185-mile route. This fantastically detailed guidebook divides the path into 18 sections, from the source of the Thames to Woolwich, revealing 1,000 mini adventures to be enjoyed along the way.
These cherry-picked, time-saving ideas for wild days out reveal the best places to delve into mudlarking, launch a packraft or canoe, or indulge in throwing off shoes for a barefoot paddle. They will help you explore ancient ruins, sacred shrines, and riverside pubs with spectacular views. You’ll also find plenty of options for places to stay the night, for when you want a great day to become a proper holiday.
Lavishly illustrated with helpful maps and Stephen’s stunning photography, this is a truly inspiring and practical companion for anyone exploring the Thames Path. Discover what makes the Thames Path truly unique and begin your own journey through the mysteries, magic, and marvellous adventures along one of the greatest rivers in the world.
