London, Thames Valley, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire
Thames Path
A train-friendly London day-trip breakdown of the Thames Path from Woolwich to the source. The final four sections are not possible with train alone. I recommend either doing all four sections in one go staying at hotels/campsites or break into two weekends with 2 sections each.
