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. But towns like Ashton Keynes, Clifton Hampden and Wallingford are little gems, even though you sometimes need to leave the path to find them.

Not sure if you’ll approve but I see you moderate regularly so respect whether you choose to publish this or not :). Trail Guide to the Body is a highly recommended textbook for the state licensing tests administered by both the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) and the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) and is one of only five books on their official examination reference lists. In addition, the Board of Certification program for athletic trainers in the U.S. uses our high-quality Trail Guide to the Body illustrations in their various products, including exams. I’m planning a charity walk taking in around 100 miles of the Thames Path, ideally ending at the Thames Barrier. Do you know how far ‘up’ the Thames I would be able to navigate the towpath on a bicycle? For example, I know that from Southwest London it is possible to get a clear run as far as Windsor. I also know that going the other way you can pretty much ride all the way to Westminster, if you can’t do it on the south side then you can always cross over and ride the Chelsea embankment. You’re not really meant to cycle through central London but you can still pretty much go along the Southbank to Greenwich, and beyond.We are recruiting for two osteopath members to join the Investigating Committee (IC). The IC considers all concerns raised against osteopaths received by the GOsC.Closing date for osteopaths has been extended to: 11.30am on Wednesday 8 November 2023. The Thames Path in London by Phobe Clapham, is the book for the London section between Hampton Court and the Thames Barrier, with detailed coverage for both the North Bank and South Bank options. It also includes the Thames Path Extension, enabling you to extend your walk to Crayford Ness if you wish. It was last updated in 2018. Limited accommodation at Newbridge at the Rose Revived pub. Alternative accommodation can be found a few miles off route at Brighthamton, or Northmoor. Alternatively, a bus or taxi ride will take you to the towns of Abindgon or Witney. We are from Australia and are planning to walk in the Cotswolds in May 2019 finishing in Oxford. We are thinking that it would be good to then tag on the Oxford to London section of the Thames Path. Question, would like to know if it is necessary to pre book nightly accommodation (pubs and B & B’s etc) or is it possible to find accom along the way? If accom is relatively easy to find it would give us more flexibility each day (weather, sightseeing etc), we have hiked extensively (several Camino walks in Spain, Portugal, France etc and have done the C2C in England twice). I actually live in Southwest London, so alongside the Thames Path, also interestingly enough close to where the London Loop dissects the Thames. However, whilst I love hiking my question is deviating off a little bit, as it is about cycling.

The Thames Path passes many railway stations along its route, meaning its extremely easy to split the route up into several trips. Indeed, if you live in London, or near the Thames, it’s an absolute doddle to walk most of the Thames Path in day hikes. The options are endless. It’s difficult to chose a perfect three day stretch, but perhaps the sections between Tilehurst/Reading and Oxford would meet your criteria. It’s quite varied, with lots of interesting scenery and some lovely villages and towns. We have done the South Downs and the Pennine Way in day walks between carparks adjacent to the route. With two cars you can leapfrog efficiently and cover 10 to 15 miles a day.Hello all, I’m walking the path, stage by stage in weekly instalments this year, setting out from my home in Bedfordshire each time. I’m going from east to west and am using the Cicerone guide by Leigh Hatts. I have broken the habit of a lifetime and bought absolutely no maps for these trips because the Cicerone guide includes a separate book of the entire route taken from the OS’s Explorer (1:25,000) maps and so far I’ve had no problems at all with routefinding. I’ve also broken another habit of a lifetime and left my walking boots at home – the ground underfoot has so far really not necessitated robust footwear and I ‘ve been doing it in trainers. 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. Thanks for all your stories, tips and advice. The only shame is that you walked from East to West and we are walking from West to East … If you wish to head to the sea, the England Coast Path is now waymarked and will take you from Woolwich to the Isle of Grain. From the Thames Barrier simply follow the Thames Path Extension to meet up with the Coast Path. Rest days

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. Each of the locations listed below has accommodation, shops and at least one pub, unless otherwise noted. Generally they are major towns or large villages. Any places with limited accommodation are noted. Where there is a railway station available on or near the route, this is marked with a 🚂. Stage 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. I’d say don’t stop at the Barrier. . Thamesmead – the developers built a man made lake that attracts a lot of birds and parts of the path are very pretty (don’t go inland…).It gets bleak and wilder and more industrial nearer Belvedere (after Gallions Park) – sometimes in autumn there are seals.Thanks for the information. I’ll be visiting London in July of this year and hope to start on the trail from that end. How far … time will tell.
