Four years ago today the England Coast Path linked up with the Thames Path at Woolwich. This 47 mile route between London and Grain is the first source to sea National Trail 👇https://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/trails/england-coast-path-south-east/

Great to see @freddievanmierlomp.bsky.social is continuing to push for progress on Marsh Lock footbridge. We know this is a long-haul. We are confident the Thames Path National Trail will once again be routed across the Horse-bridge, one day! Thank you Freddie!

Yes, muddy indeed, especially after the last 24hrs of rain, and more rain is expected in the next low pressure system of #winter weather.

Gorgeous photos @sarahhants.bsky.social thank you for sharing them

Thank you Clare! Lovely to see so many people back on the Thames Path in the sunshine this week. There will be many more on sunny Sunday!

So great to have the @thamespathnt.bsky.social back open between Richmond Lock Bridge and Kew Bridge back open again after massive works to rebuild the collapsed bank - and lovely to see so many folks out enjoying walking it today too @richmondcouncil.bsky.social @richmondramblers.bsky.social

Several rivers in the Thames valley have Flood Alerts after Storm Claudia. The Thames Path may not be flooded, yet. Bookmark the Flood Alerts and Warnings page 👇now and check later to avoid flooded sections.

Temple bridge closed- Thames Path on diversion May 2023 onwards - National Trails

The Thames Path National Trail diversion route to avoid Temple Bridge is here www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/short-...

Last Thursday the central span of Temple Bridge was lifted and disconnected from the outer spans of the footbridge across the River Thames. The EA will assess either refurbish or replace the bridge 👇https://engageenvironmentagency.uk.engagementhq.com/thames-area-assets/widgets/131458/faqs#35166

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.

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👇
