Thames Path 2007

by David Sharp

Running 184 miles from the river's source in rural Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier, the Thames Path is one of England's most varied and accessible National Trails. Natural England's acorn waymarks lead the walker alongside the infant Thames, through tranquil water meadows, past the dreaming spires of Oxford and the pageantry of Windsor and Hampton Court, though the heart of the capital to London's docklands and beyond. This official guide provides maps and descriptions of each section of the path and is the perfect companion for weekend strollers and true hikers alike.

Planning my next long distance walk and will always turn to the National Trail Guide as my starting point. This time, it's the Thames Path starting at the source in Gloucestershire. These guides are very informative, with lovely pictures. They break the walk down into practical, manageable chunks of around 10-15 miles of walking in a day, depending on the terrain and places to stop en route for accommodation and refreshment. Very much looking forward to starting the walk, as the weather improves and have enjoyed planning with this book.
