Walking on the Thames Path will take you on a journey. Whichever end of the trail you start from, you’ll walk and watch the river change. When I walked the Capital Ring there were definitely parts I would not recommend women walking on their own , I know that is an urban walk but the TP seems quite isolated, at least in the early parts. The walk between Lime house and Island gardens is the worst part of the walk as there are mostly private properties and restricted areas near river which you cant enter. You have to go on a side road and then re-join. Is it well signposted ? I am currently doing the London Loop using ‘Go Jaunty’ but one doesn’t really ‘see’ anything as I’m always looking at the screen.
These seven routes form the Walk London Network, one of the largest walking networks of any city in the world. These routes are specifically designed to be easily accessible by public transport and you can walk as little or as far as you want by walking them in sections.Hi, I’d like to take my 9 year old lab on the path from Pangbourne to Reading. She is too heavy for me to consider lifting her over any barriers along the path. Are there any sections that might prevent her walking unhindered?
But going the other way, past Windsor, I don’t really know, since I have never seen it. Is it possible to ride as far as Oxford? How about beyond Oxford?urn:lcp:trailguidetobody0000biel_u1b6:epub:204c446a-5e41-4a9b-bb2d-2b2a63981d50 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier trailguidetobody0000biel_u1b6 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2f3fjdh1nb Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780982978658 My wife and I traveled from Australia to walk the Thames Path. We had the luxury of 18 days walking from the Source to London during September 2018. We had rest days in Windsor and Oxford. And not a drop of rain the entire journey. Andrew has all the information you need here but, for breaking the trip down to easy day stages, we followed thames-path.org.uk. It was written around 2004 but what little has changed is well signed. We didn’t bother carrying any maps or guidebooks. Nigel, I walked that stretch on the south side last year. Last February there was a diversion on the Greenwich Peninsula due to building work. It wasn’t well signposted but might be finished now of course!
If you plan to stay at multiple YHA hostels, it’s well worth considering becoming a member as this will save you some money. sides of Oxfordshire), trains to Reading and the source. I particularly love journeys on local community services It is particularly well signed both ways, with clear markings (and maps) at the beginning and end of the new section. I’m planning a charity walk taking in around 100 miles of the Thames Path, ideally ending at the Thames Barrier.
It much depends upon the weather. April can be dry, warm, cold and wet ! The head of the Thames through to Tadpole Bridge is beautiful, quite wild, often off the river itself and quite isolated in parts, but awful if it is raining. That would take two days. By the nature of the fact that it follows a river, the Thames Path is a pretty flat walk with no real hills to speak of. At many points, it is paved, making walking easy, and for most of the trail there are lots of facilities available.

The River Thames isn’t the longest river in the UK – that honour goes to the Severn instead – however the Thames is certainly the best known, and arguably the mightiest of the UK’s rivers. Over the years it’s been a key trading route, both for the import and export of goods to the country, or for transporting items internally as well. Without the Thames, London simply wouldn’t be the city it is today. Hello, I’ve just completed the Source to Oxford “paddle”. The floods had receded sufficiently to let us through, and despite bank holiday sunshine there were very few people. We’d planned relatively easy days, which was fortunate as the going was quite hard.
Similar to what was mentioned in an earlier post (James, March 24 2018), I am also intending to walk the whole length from the source at Kemble to Southend Pier. I’m anticipating 12 – 15 days.

From the Thames Barrier simply follow the Thames Path Extension to meet up with the Coast Path. Rest days I just finished the whole Great London path. I really enjoyed it. It is so diverse. I split it into 1.5-2 hours walk every day and finished it in 4-5 days. On weekend I walked Longer. A small group of us are proposing to walk from Westminster to Hampton Court. Do you know the mileage and how long it should take?We’d like to complete that section in a day if possible
