| The River Thames, Oxon, Bucks, Berks, Surrey,
The River Thames, at 215 miles (346km), is the second largest river in England stretching from its source in Kemble, Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier in London. The Thames flows through the counties of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey before reaching London, has 45 locks and has a towpath that runs from the beginning to end! The Thames Path is a designated public footpath and there maybe restrictions for cyclists, as this is not a cycle route. The Thames passes through many historical towns and picturesque villages, and has much to offer both walkers and the boating fraternity with festivals, boat races, rallies and regattas, riverside pubs, restaurants, wildlife and glorious scenery.
