Great news from Richmond-upon-Thames, the riverside path will reopen on 8 November after 12 months of repair to the embankment, future-proofing the riverside to cope with rising tides. Join the celebrations 10am on 8 Nov near Richmond Lock.

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-...

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 πŸ‘‡ as summer in the city brings more people to the River Thames and the foreshore. Stay Back, Stay Out, Stay Safe.

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.
