Thank you Freddie speaking passionately about the importance of the #ThamesPath and @theridgewaynt.bsky.social for local people, economy, people's mental & physical health, wildlife and heritage. More funding for National Trails is vital for their sustainable future! @nationaltrailsuk.bsky.social

Brilliant work by Smallwood Contractors this week regrading and resurfacing the #ThamesPath near Beetle & Wedge, Moulsford, transforming a very muddy section 😒 into a superb route 😀 Today 30+ Walk Works walkers, TP strollers and T184 event runners all approved 👏 #footpathfriday

Hi Kristi, it may be best to give Bygone Boating a call (phone number on the Benson Ferry sign in the photo) to check they will be running on the day you plan to walk from Wallingford to Abingdon. The walking route is here www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/short-...

#fingerpostfriday the Thames Path across Benson Weir is due to reopen in Spring 2026. The EA contractor is rebuilding the weir with new radial gates, fish pass and a wide walkway. Benson Ferry operates in summer. Thames Path diversion👇

Thank you for all your photos and posts from your #thamespath adventures @jeremysaul2.bsky.social showing the Thames Path offers more than a long-distance walking route between the Cotswolds and London 🤗
@riverthamessoc.bsky.social

🙏 @campaignerkate.bsky.social for your lovely blog post 👇
of your nostalgic walk in the upper reaches of the Thames from Kelmscott. A great route for summer walks this weekend too. The river's low, meadows are high with grasses and riverside trees give shade #fingerpostfriday #thamespath

Good Luck to everyone wearing these bright green t-shirts on the Thames Path Mighty Hike today, starting from Eton to Cookham (half-marathon) and Remenham (marathon) distances, having a great time fund-raising for Macmillan Cancer Support www.macmillan.org.uk/mighty-hikes... 🥾🥾🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️👏👏

Water safety We are committed to reducing the number of people who drown in the tidal Thames, either accidentally or through suicide.

Powerful new water-safety film from the Port of London Authority 👇 as summer in the city brings more people to the River Thames and the foreshore. Stay Back, Stay Out, Stay Safe.

Well done @johnmtippetts.bsky.social 👏👏 walking the Thames Path a fantastic SIX times. Two (or is it three?) the full length of Source to Sea along the England Coast Path from Woolwich Foot Tunnel. Such a wonderful achievement!! Thank you for all your superb photos 👇 www.flickr.com/photos/thrap...

The X40 River Rapids bus service is popular with National Trails walkers on the #ThamesPath and the Ridgeway because it stops at convenient locations to access these long-distance walking routes and connects with @gwr.com rail services at Reading.

👏👏 Congratulations @tripletlg.bsky.social striding out under moody summer skies in the upper Thames landscape. The Thames, and the Thames Path, here so different from the hustle and bustle of Westminster, Kingston, Reading and Oxford!

Ouch @thewateriswide.net toes take time to heal! Look forward to seeing you on the Thames Path as soon as you've recovered. 🥾🥾

Yesterday's walk from Abingdon to Goring along the #ThamesPath . At Clifton Lock, Curtis the lock keeper & his wife have really excelled themselves this year. Remember, the profits from their ice cream sales are ploughed into the plant fund, so no need to feel guilty about stopping for one! 🍦🌺🌻🌼🏵️

😍😍 your 🧵 @kristitange.bsky.social That section of the Thames Path east of Tower Bridge is so different from west London into the City! Did you know the Thames Path is also on the north bank of the Thames? More fascinating history and another perspective on the river 👏👏

📢 We're recruiting a Project & Volunteer Coordinator to work on the busy and popular Thames Path and Ridgeway National Trails with a great team of volunteers. Apply now and/or share this post 👇

This was last weekend's Thames Path hike for @tripletlg.bsky.social Great shots of Abingdon-on-Thames as they made the most of the diversion into town to avoid the closed walkway over the weir, and the Brahma Kumaris global retreat centre at Nuneham Courtenay too!
