Product Description
Product Description
Running for 180 miles (288 km) from the river’s source in rural Gloucestershire to Greenwich and the Thames Barrier, the Thames Path is one of the most popular and accessible of Britain’s National Trails. It also offers a unique opportunity to walk through the nation’s history from the dreaming spires of Oxford, past Windsor and Hampton Court and on through the heart of London to the towers of Dockland and beyond. This guide provides everything the walker needs, whether the intention is to cover to whole route from end to end or simply to find a location for a pleasant afternoon’s walk beside the river. National Trail Guides are the official guidebooks to the fifteen National Trails in England and Wales and are published in association with Natural England, the official body charged with developing and maintaining the Trails.
About the Author
David Sharp is a Vice-President of the Ramblers, and author of the guide to The London Loop as well as the National Trail Guide to the Thames Path in the Country, both published by Aurum.

Format:Paperback
This is an indispensable companion if walking the Thames Path, and if you are taking only one book along with you, it should be this one. Others, such as Turner's one on pubs, the National Trail Companion, and the Imray map, are helpful, but you can get along without them if you have this.
Detailed OS maps are included for every step of the way, with the relevant text on the same page. The text itself gives very clear directions, fills you in on local history and landmarks, and points out pubs and other places of refreshment. The balance is just right.
Once the Path reaches London it follows both banks of the river. Here the text usefully splits into colour-coded north and south sections, which run in parallel to each other.
David Sharp, the author, is one of the founders of the Path. His other book, on he London Loop, which he also helped found, is equally excellent.
As another reviewer points out, you can't follow the Path uptream with this book.

The booklet came in good time and in good condition.
It is proving to be an interesting guide to the walk.
We are about to start following it in the field though others who are well on with it say the guide works well.

Used on a walk recently with my Dad between Goring and Tilehurst. Generally a very good guide but would benefit perhaps from the mileage to key milestones and places on the walk rather than from town/village to town/village.
