Thames Path - East Section

The east section of the Thames Path begins in Goring and winds through Windsor into the heart of London, where it concludes in Woolwich. The scenery is diverse and beautiful, passing lush meadows, quiet woodland and peaceful riverbanks interspersed with urban stretches of great architecture and history.

This section of the Thames Path is novel in that, in places, walkers may choose which bank of the river to walk along, with plenty of bridges allowing the river to be crossed as required. The trails on each side of the river boast their own unique sights and intrigue, offering a special sense of discovery to enjoy along the way.

Your overnight stops along this trail will more commonly be pubs and inns rather than B&Bs.
