Temple Footbridge

Temple Footbridge is a pedestrian crossing over the River Thames linking the Buckinghamshire and Berkshire banks in Hurley. The structure features a wooden deck and allows walkers to cross the river on foot.

The bridge was built in 1989 and replaced a former ferry that had carried people across the Thames for many years. This ferry service was the main crossing point until its closure in the mid-20th century.

The bridge forms an essential section of the Thames Path, enabling pedestrians to follow the historic river route between Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.

Access to the crossing may require using alternative paths in the area, as the bridge can be closed for maintenance work. It is worth checking local conditions and using other routes along the Thames Path network.

The bridge is valued by walkers as it provides a direct link along the Thames Path route. It serves as a key connection point on a long-distance trail that draws visitors throughout the year.
