The Thames Path is a 184-mile National Trail that roughly follows the River Thames from its source in the Cotswold Hills to the Thames Barrier east of London.
For three days this week I walked part of the trail from near Reading to Oxford. I’m grateful I was joined by two friends I’ve known for much of my life.
- Reading
- Pangbourne (start of hike)
- Wallingford

- Oxford (end of hike)
Day 1: Pangbourne to Wallingford
Our foot journey started in the town of Pangbourne. We stayed in Reading the previous night. Day 1 of our hike began with a short train ride from Reading to Pangbourne.
