May sunshine and a 'dusting' of golden yellow on North Hill from millions of buttercup flowers 😍 Day's Lock and Wittenham Clumps a favourite for #thamespath fans!

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.

Well done @johnmtippetts.bsky.social πŸ‘πŸ‘ walking the Thames Path a fantastic SIX times.

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.

The historic tradition of Swan Upping starts today from Sunbury-on-Thames and continues along the River Thames to Abingdon on Friday. Visit Royal Swan website www.royalswan.co.uk for places and times to see this annual census and health-check of swans and cygnets.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ 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!

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 πŸ‘πŸ‘

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!

Thank You to all our wonderful #volunteers who make and install these fingerposts on the Thames Path National Trail: at the Source in Trewsbury Mead Gloucestershire, in Cotswold Water Park, at Gatehampton near Goring, and Dumsey Meadow, Chertsey. #VolunteersWeek #fingerpostfriday @ramblers.org.uk

Thank you @kristitange.bsky.social We've heard from other walkers that Thames Path signage in Brentford has been patchy. Unsure if this is due to signs being removed, or not there to start with! @hfcouncil.bsky.social is responsible for Thames Path signage.

Starting a week's celebration of our #volunteers with their work in Dec '24 reinstating the Source to Sea fingerpost (they made) in Trewsbury Mead. The post hole was so waterlogged one remarked: 'put out deckchairs around this pool!' #nationalvolunteersweek @nationaltrailsuk.bsky.social
