Thames Path Complete | 21 Days

  • Follow the Thames Path from its Cotswolds source into the heart of London
  • Iconic sights such as Windsor Castle, Runnymede & Hampton Court Palace
  • Contrasting landscapes from tranquil meadows to the bustling city
  • Admire London’s skyline from the South Bank including Westminster Palace
  • Walk through the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Walk England’s Thames Path, a National Trail, following footpaths through varying landscapes from its rural source in the Cotswolds, all the way into the capital city of London. The Thames is a river that is responsible for London’s very existence and as John Elliott Burns (1858-1943) said, “The Thames is liquid history”. It has inspired authors, poets and painters alike and you can contemplate life and relax whilst walking through serene countryside and past areas of great historic significance, including the city of Oxford and Royal palaces, such as Windsor and Hampton Court. Walk into London’s bustling centre, admiring its incredible skyline and completing the trail at the Thames Barrier in Greenwich, sampling some of England’s best food in cosy pubs en route.
