Product Description
Fully updated for 2006, "Walks Along the Thames Path" is the essential companion for all those wishing to discover the nature and historical riches of one of the world's most famous rivers. In 25 original and circular walks, Ron Emmons offers a wealth of detail on the architecture, culture, history, and flora and fauna of the Thames and its environs. Meandering through varied terrain from its source in Gloucestershire through the heart of London to the Thames Barrier, the walks lead to some of England's major attractions, from the Royal town of Windsor and the splendid spires of Oxford to little known villages and picturesque meadows. With walks to suit all interests and abilities, and handsomely illustrated with colour photographs and complete route maps, the book provides practical information on opening times, access, and transport, as well as nearby places of interest.

Customer Reviews
A truly delightful guide book!
What a delight! Beautiful colour photos in addition to crystal-clear maps and a wealth of local history. This book includes useful information about opening times, which Explorer maps accompany which walks, an excellent lay-out overall and so on.
I can heartily recommend this for anyone interested in the fascinating stories of local history combined with some truly well thought-out walks alongside the Thames.
Full marks Mr Emmons!
Great Book
I have been on five of the walks in the book now. Unlike a number of other books, the descriptions of the walks are very accurate. The walks can be quite long for a young family, but a nice length for a Rambler.
