The River Thames threads its way serenely through sleepy rural villages, pretty landscapes and through the heart of bustling historic towns such as Oxford and Windsor.
Royalty beckons with palaces at Kew, Richmond, Hampton Court and Windsor whilst the history of England is recorded in the fabric of the waterside defining the Thames as 'liquid history'. Enjoy the water meadows, old inns, wildlife and weirs that lead you on through your adventures.
With wonderful luxury hotels or cosy inns this trip is one of our favourites. The tranquil river path provides the route for much of this trip - we love it because it is flat and traffic free and the itinerary is relaxed. What a great way to discover the sights and smells of quintessential England!
5 days of cycling with two further days of optional cycling 10 - 24 miles (16 - 38 km) per day. Mostly flat with a mix of bike paths, gravel tracks and the occasional road and grass tracks. Almost completely traffic free.
