Thames Path National Trail

#Walktober speedwalking the @thamespathnt.bsky.social to a brutal @metwalkers.bsky.social group walk, I looked down and saw people crossing #London Bridge 😍 #photography #reflection

Black Poplar trees are distinctive along the Thames Path, mainly because there are so few of them! This project aims to restore Black Poplars through the Thames valley by propagation and planting a network of new trees. Please donate 👇 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/qW8YXebn @ticl.me

Variety of #SeedHeads along the Thames Path for #wildflowerhour. Hooky burrs of Burdock, towering seedheads of an umbellifer, hardheads of Common knapweed. @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

A 19th century wooden footbridge over the Thames near Faringdon has reopened after a closure of more than two years. Local MP Charlie Maynard says he is “delighted”. Tenfoot Bridge was closed in March 2024 due to structural concerns.

As part of the work, the Environment Agency has installed new bat boxes on the underside of the bridge, complete with helpful illustrations of a bat.

Have you seen the QR codes on some Thames Path fingerposts? These take you to the Thames Path Poems written and read by Robert Seatter to celebrate our 30th anniversary. They're all on the Visit Thames website too. #FingerpostFriday

👏👍This year's Active Thames funding round will prioritise projects that engage under-represented communities and develop the skills of coaches, volunteers and support staff. Great opportunity to support everyone to be active on and around the River Thames in London. Apply now 👇

The Thames Path in Oxford is on diversion through Iffley Meadows while the river embankment is repaired between Donnington Bridge and the Isis River Farmhouse. Photos show the eroded bank, and structural repairs already completed in Oxford. @oxfordclarion.bsky.social @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social

How about a magnificent Black Walnut for #thicktrunktuesday This superb tree stands in the grounds of Marble Hill at Twickenham a wonderful place for shady walks this summer. @ticl.me @twickenhammuseum.bsky.social

He's only done it again! @johnmtippetts.bsky.social completed his SEVENTH Thames Path walk arriving at the source on Monday and celebrating at the Thames Head Inn. Congratulations John and thank you for all your lovely photos 📷👏📷👏 #thamespath30

The River Thames above Eynsham is languid and beautiful, perfect for paddling and quiet boating. There's so much to see from the Thames Path, as @johnmtippetts.bsky.social photos show. #thamespath30 Good Luck John for your final day from Lechlade to the Source on Monday 👏👏

To mark the 30th anniversary of the Thames Path National Trail opening in July 1996, Sophie Campbell highlights her favourite sections of the 185.2 mile route from source to sea www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/desti... #thamespath30 #riverthames #nationaltrail

@johnmtippetts.bsky.social watched and filmed the Swan Upping flotilla through #Berkshire. Several Dunkirk Little Ships are towing the 'Uppers' skiffs to give the oarsmen a rest 😅 before they gathered the next group of cygnets.

While we’re in Oxford looking at #greattrees 🏆🌳 do take a look at the Keaki in Christ Church Meadow too 😍 It’s a fine specimen and one of #30trees we chose to celebrate #30years of the Thames Path National Trail @thamespathnt.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/ticl...

Glorious roses at Sandford Lock, thank you @johnmtippetts.bsky.social for all your photos from today's long-distance walk through #Oxfordshire #thamespath30

Purple loosestrife is glorious, seen here growing out of coir rolls embedded into the riverbank alongside the Thames Path at Grandpont in central Oxford. #AquaticPlants #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Remember the rain on 11 June? It was the day 'waterproof boots' were tested through long grass between Eynsham and Osney 😅 We'd had a few showers earlier in the Thames Path Relay, but this was a real 'wet day' and the last time we saw rain! #thamespath30 @walking-class-hero.bsky.social

Marsh Lock Horsebridge at Henley. Closed beyond the lock since May 2022. A great loss to the residents of Shiplake and the #ThamesPath. This wonderful bridge must be renovated. If it helps make this happen sooner rather than later, then I'm happy to chip in via the proposed crowd funding

Yesterday's Goring to Abingdon walk via #TheRidgeway as far as Wallingford. Met Thames Path Champion Wendy at Clifton Lock. Curtis & his wife have excelled themselves this year with their flower display. Ice cream sales fund more plants, so no need to feel guilty! @thamespathnt.bsky.social

Barrow-loads of beautiful begonias at Clifton Lock where Curtis the Lockie keeps a gorgeous garden and sells delicious ice-creams. #heatwave #thamespath30 @johnmtippetts.bsky.social @andysin33.bsky.social

#drowningprevention Emergency Throwbags/lines along the Thames Path in London and Reading, installed by local fire services with local councils. Spot them and know how to use them! #RespectTheWater @rlssuk.bsky.social @readingcouncil.bsky.social @gojauntly.bsky.social

You may have seen a Corsican pine before … but you won’t have seen many as fine as this one @thamespathnt.bsky.social @thamesriverstrust.bsky.social @thames21.bsky.social @bbowt.bsky.social

Fingerposts from the Thames Path Relay in June: at Shillingford (by a new post, the old one was made into the Acorn Baton), Gatehampton, Cricklade and Bourne End. #FingerpostFriday #thamespath30 @andysin33.bsky.social @johnmtippetts.bsky.social

What a lovely surprise! I am honoured to be standing alongside Peter Finch, Chair of the River Thames Society, an organisation that worked with the Ramblers to create the Thames Path National Trail in the 1970s-90s so it could be opened in 1996. Thank you for the photo @johnmtippetts.bsky.social

This Black Walnut in the grounds of Marble Hill, Twickenham is one of the Great Trees of London, and a highlight of the 30 Thames Path Trees 👉 ticl.me/marble-hill-... #trees #london #thamespath30 @ticl.me

#fingerpostfriday at the Isle of Effra and Effra Quay outside the MI6 building where the Thames Path was reopened after Tideway London work completed. Bronze seats designed by Richard Wentworth reference the history of Royal Doulton sanitaryware made in Lambeth. #thamespath30 @gojauntly.bsky.social

Today you can see trees from both these plantings and read the poem as part of @thamespathnt.bsky.social #30trees for #30years celebration @ticl.me bsky.app/profile/ticl...
