Beskrivelse

Discover the Thames Path National Trail with this all-in-one practical guide, covering the entire route from the Cotswolds to London’s Thames Barrier. It features detailed maps, accommodation and dining options, plus public transport details to help you plan your journey.

The ultimate companion for exploring the 294km Thames Path, blending stunning landscapes with rich history.

The Thames Path stretches 294km, starting from Thames Head near Kemble in the Cotswolds and ending at the Thames Barrier in London. Along the way, you’ll experience a diverse range of scenery-from the peaceful, remote upper river sections to striking urban views. The trail passes through historic locations such as Oxford, Lechlade, Abingdon, Henley, Runnymede, Windsor, and London, making it as much a walk through history as a scenic riverside stroll.

This guide includes 99 large-scale walking maps, the most detailed available for this trail, at a scale just under 1:20,000 (around 8cm or 3-1/8 inches to one mile). These maps are specially designed by walkers for walkers, featuring walking times, directions, tricky junctions, and points of interest, alongside places to stay and eat.

Whether you plan to hike the full 184-mile route or prefer shorter day walks and breaks, there are itineraries suited for all types of walkers. The guide also provides comprehensive public transport information for every access point along the path.

Practical advice caters to all budgets, with recommendations and reviews for places to stay-ranging from pubs and hotels to B&Bs, campsites, bunkhouses, and hostels-as well as dining options. GPS waypoints are included and can be downloaded from the Trailblazer website.

Additional features include full-colour stage maps showing gradients, 14 full-colour overview maps, and a 4-page colour flower guide to enhance your walking experience.
