Old Father Thames

​

Just as Covid restrictions came into force I had plans to walk from the source of the Thames down to the Barrage on a Long Distance Walking Trail. These plans had to be altered several times but after a 5th attempt, I was able to get away in late May 2022 along a section of the upper Thames from Oxford to Marlow. I booked a week through  my trusted Holiday Organisers  Inn Travel and clocked up 56 miles in the process.

​

The total length  of the Trail is about 200 miles but Inn Travel had cherry-picked the best bits of the Oxford to Marlow, arranged top accommodation, a pick-up-luggage service and comprehensive route notes. It worked a treat and I enjoyed many great experiences.

I have put together a series of images off this page, to show the type of scenery we passed through and some of the oddities we came across. Click a link on any heading below that interests you.
