Thames Path Start: Kemble - Grid Ref: ST 980994 The Thames Path, follows the River Thames and is unlike all other National Trails as these include hill walking on moorland, coastal walking and much more white the Thames Path provides easy walking along flat ground the whole way with its riverside landscapes and great sense of history. The route begins in quiet water meadows the river is tranquil an often secluded on it's journey through Cricklade and Lechlade to Oxford. Here the great spires and colleges proclaim a river of growing stature as it flows to England's capital past castles and Royal palaces, there is still plenty of peaceful countryside and abundant wildlife to be seen between the towns and villages and enticing riverside pubs. There is also the added interest of observing human life on the river in boats of all shapes and sizes. The Thames Path route is also different from other National Trails in that there is extensive public transport accessibility at many points along the route. This makes it ideal for walking short sections for a day or perhaps a weekend. Many walkers approach the Trail in this way, possibly taking several years to complete the whole in numerous return visits. Apart from the cities of Oxford and London, the route also passes through a number of very pleasant towns, such as Windsor or Henley-on-Thames. |
