Thames Path
Mention the River Thames and people think of London’s iconic skyline – Tower Bridge, Big Ben, etc. While the climax of this gentle National Trail does pass through the city, the majority of its 296km meanders through some of England’s loveliest landscapes. Starting at the river’s source near Cirencester in Gloucestershire, the path traverses the heart of classical England, past Henley’s elite rowing club and the spires of Oxford University, en route to the capital. Hard-core hikers mock the genteel setting, but this is the perfect mix of big-city London and picture-postcard countryside.
