Thames Path, National trail along River Thames in England.
The Thames Path extends for 185 miles from the Cotswolds through Oxford, Windsor, and London, ending at the Thames Barrier in Woolwich.
Established as a National Trail in 1996, the path follows ancient towpaths used by horses to pull cargo barges along the River Thames.
The trail connects numerous historical sites, including Hampton Court Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and Tower Bridge, reflecting England's architectural heritage.
Multiple access points near public transport stations allow visitors to divide the trail into shorter sections for day walks throughout the year.
The path changes character from meadows at the river source to urban landscapes, passing through eight counties and central London.
