Exploring the Thames Rivers and Streams

Richard Mayon-White, Wendy Yorke

A guide to exploring and enjoying the river Thames and its tributaries through the 50 best riverside walks.

The River Thames is a beautifully rich and diverse 215-mile stretch of water that so many of us enjoy walking along - for half an hour, half a day, or days on end courtesy of the wonderful Thames Path. Explore further and you discover the Thames tributaries - the rivers and streams that flow into the Thames from miles in all directions. This natural network has an enormous catchment area, right across Southern England into the Thames Estuary. From a small source stream in Gloucestershire, across varied and historic countryside, through London and into the wide estuary entering the North Sea, the Thames and its tributaries are a plentiful area for exploration and enjoyment.

Exploring the Thames Rivers and Streams helps you do just that. The book presents the 33 primary rivers that flow from the Thames and within these chapters describes 50 wonderful walks that best explore the beauty these tributaries have to offer. The walks vary between 4 and 12 miles long and explore a variety of chalk streams, wet woodlands, lakes, reedbeds, flood meadows and canals, where you can pause, observe the wildlife, read about the interesting and historical places featured, or enjoy the waterside with a wild swim, picnic or paddle. Each chapter also features beautiful photography and informative maps.
