Water Walks and Winter Warmers

Make the most of the spectacular scenery along the River Thames this winter with a waterside walk and a warming drink in a cosy pub along the way.

Take your pick from our top five walks along the Thames Path National Trail. They are all within a few minutes walk of a train station, so leave the car at home and catch the train instead!

Maps of each walk and more information can be downloaded from Thames Path National Trails website.
