Our whole trip was very well organised and all our connections worked impeccably. We can highly recommend Walk the Landscape for the complete Thames Path. Tony and Lesley Schlencker, Australia, 2012

Very prompt and thorough. Accommodation along the way was great. Doug Tweed, Canada, 2012

The River Thames had been the artery and hub of activity for the south of England since man settled in Britain.   The walk along the Thames from its source provides a delightful and lasting impression of this mighty river from a mere trickle in open water meadows to a navigable waterway at Henley.  The river passes through rich farming land and prosperous historic towns such as Abingdon, Dorchester and Wallingford that have derived much of their wealth from this aquatic thoroughfare. 
The Thames has also inspired authors and artists. For example, Kenneth Graham wrote Wind in the Willows after observing the wildlife in the river from its towpath and William Morris, founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement, found a retreat and summer home at Kelmscot Manor on the banks of the Thames near Lechlade.
