Brilliant work by Smallwood Contractors this week regrading and resurfacing the #ThamesPath near Beetle & Wedge, Moulsford, transforming a very muddy section 😒 into a superb route 😀 Today 30+ Walk Works walkers, TP strollers and T184 event runners all approved 👏 #footpathfriday

#fingerpostfriday the Thames Path across Benson Weir is due to reopen in Spring 2026. The EA contractor is rebuilding the weir with new radial gates, fish pass and a wide walkway. Benson Ferry operates in summer. Thames Path diversion👇 www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/short-... #thamespath #benson

🙏 @campaignerkate.bsky.social for your lovely blog post 👇 of your nostalgic walk in the upper reaches of the Thames from Kelmscott. A great route for summer walks this weekend too. The river's low, meadows are high with grasses and riverside trees give shade #fingerpostfriday #thamespath Archive 📷

👏👏 Congratulations @tripletlg.bsky.social striding out under moody summer skies in the upper Thames landscape. The Thames, and the Thames Path, here so different from the hustle and bustle of Westminster, Kingston, Reading and Oxford!

Yesterday's walk from Abingdon to Goring along the #ThamesPath . At Clifton Lock, Curtis the lock keeper & his wife have really excelled themselves this year. Remember, the profits from their ice cream sales are ploughed into the plant fund, so no need to feel guilty about stopping for one! 🍦🌺🌻🌼🏵️

Starting a week's celebration of our #volunteers with their work in Dec '24 reinstating the Source to Sea fingerpost (they made) in Trewsbury Mead. The post hole was so waterlogged one remarked: 'put out deckchairs around this pool!' #nationalvolunteersweek @nationaltrailsuk.bsky.social

Wonderful photos @passedwonder.bsky.social 😍 so atmospheric and evocative of this liminal landscape of saltmarshes and mudflats. Thank you!
