Art, engineering, photography, curiosity...you'll find it all on the Thames Path, here in the middle of London 🙏 @patriciastoughton.bsky.social

Can @johnmtippetts.bsky.social help with this query please? John visited the source a few weeks ago. Pools of water may still be in fields between the source and Ashton Keynes. It will take some time for water to drain away.

Spring edition of the River Thames Society's Thames Guardian magazine features us, the Thames & Docklands History Group with Peter Stone at London Museum Docklands, and Chiswick RNLI crew Ed Hall's 'Tamesis' poems. #thamespath30 #history

A pollarded Willow from the #ThamesPath at Day's Lock Oxon. Home to a Little Owl.

Pollarding willow trees, like these two on the #ThamesPath in Oxford, gives them longer lives, great habitats for bats, insects, birds and plants, and naturally thicker trunks...perfect for #thicktrunktuesday @ticl.me

Remembering Rambler David Sharp, born #OTD 100 years ago. David was the 'father' of the Thames Path, leading surveys, relentlessly negotiating the route and writing guide books before it was approved in 1989. Kate Ashbrook's tribute👇 campaignerkate.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/d...

Dry through Oxford this afternoon, but the river is still very high and flowing fast. Riverside path closed Fiddlers Island to Port Meadow. We need several days with dry, sunny weather and no rain.

How gorgeous is the Thames Path looking in Barnes, with early spring blossoms emerging?! 🌸

@thamespathnt.bsky.social

Thank you Andy! Has the sunshine helped to dry up the surface of the Thames Path, or is it squelchy and slippery in places? Have a great time on your Thames Ultra Challenge training runs!

two men dig out old post on riverside path, new post on the ground to replace it

two men smile at the camera as they stand beside new fingerpost they've installed

Many thanks to volunteers Roger and Martin enjoying sunshine as they installed a new fingerpost near Eton and cut back overgrowing vegetation on this popular section of the Thames Path. #fingerpostfriday #thamespath #eton

River Thames flowing fast and high through Henley earlier today. Flood Alerts and Warnings for the river between Cricklade and Maidenhead, also Windsor to Molesey. #ThamesPath under water in many places, and more rain forecast. Check the maps 👇

Abingdon Weir Walkway is temporarily closed due to high river level and flow putting the damaged structure at risk of failure. Thames Path diversion is signed on site and here www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/short-...

Fieldfares, stonechats, heron and kingfisher seen in the trees and wetlands near Day's Lock this afternoon's #winterwatch on the #thamespath Flood Alerts for this section check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/target-area/... and squelchy conditions underfoot. #fingerpostfriday

The Thames flowing fast and high past The Boat House, Wallingford this afternoon. Check Flood Alert pages to see maps before setting out on a Thames Path walk, and be prepared to divert: check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/target-area/...

Four years ago today the England Coast Path linked up with the Thames Path at Woolwich. This 47 mile route between London and Grain is the first source to sea National Trail 👇https://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/trails/england-coast-path-south-east/

Great to see @freddievanmierlomp.bsky.social is continuing to push for progress on Marsh Lock footbridge. We know this is a long-haul. We are confident the Thames Path National Trail will once again be routed across the Horse-bridge, one day! Thank you Freddie!

Check for Flood Alerts before setting out on a Thames Path walk, prepare to divert instead of walking through fast-flowing water e.g. Port Meadow to Osney in Oxford, photos on 25 & 26 Dec 👇

Yes, muddy indeed, especially after the last 24hrs of rain, and more rain is expected in the next low pressure system of #winter weather.

Gorgeous photos @sarahhants.bsky.social thank you for sharing them

Thank you Clare! Lovely to see so many people back on the Thames Path in the sunshine this week. There will be many more on sunny Sunday!

So great to have the @thamespathnt.bsky.social back open between Richmond Lock Bridge and Kew Bridge back open again after massive works to rebuild the collapsed bank - and lovely to see so many folks out enjoying walking it today too @richmondcouncil.bsky.social @richmondramblers.bsky.social
