The Thames Path National Trail is a walk following the River Thames from its source in the Cotswolds to the Thames Barrier in London



Follow the greatest river in England for 184 miles (294 km) from its source in the Cotswolds almost to the sea. Passing through peaceful water meadows, unspoilt rural villages, historic towns and cities, and finally cutting through the heart of London to finish at the Thames Barrier in Greenwich.
