#OTD 1996 the Thames Path National Trail officially opened at the Thames Barrier in Greenwich. Since then thousands of people follow the National Trail's acorn icon on wooden and metal fingerposts along the 185.2 mile route from the source of the River Thames to the sea in tons made from two oak fingerposts featured in the Thames Path Relay #thamespath30

On Remembrance Sunday remember The Upper Thames Patrol, a water-borne defence force to protect the Thames as a strategic barrier against invasion, watching locks, bridges, weirs, rail crossings and landing places. Formed in Abingdon in 1939 by Sir Ralph Glyn MP, the 'UTP' was the 6 boats patrolling the river from Lechlade to Teddington and walking the river banks every day. The Thames in Wartime 🔽

Fascinating comparisons between the Bankside wharves of 1953 with Southbank today in @VanishedLondon blog below: "the solitary man cycling along Bankside in 1953 could never have imagined how this area would change over the following decades."

In March 2023 the beautiful large horse chestnut tree on the Thames Path near Dorchester was easy to see from the hide in Little Wittenham Wood. Since then the willows have grown up and the view today was not so clear, but the horse chestnut was glowing in the mid-day sunshine ☀️ Lme

Black Poplar trees are distinctive along the Thames Path, mainly because there are so few of them! A new project aims to restore Black Poplars through the Thames valley by using DNA tests to identify suitable trees for propagating and planting to create a connected network of mes, helping restore a species that's been part of the landscape for centuries.
Please donate 👇

This weathered fingerpost on the Thames Path National Trail near Ashton Keynes was in the ground for at least 20 years. After it was removed by the volunteers (and replaced with a new post) it was made into one of the Thames Path 30th anniversary Relay Batons. @DailyPicTheme2 #Weathered

Fabulous photos of dawn skies over the River Thames at Teddington this morning, from the amazing @patlinberg Thank you! It's easy to see how these sunrise skies influenced artists such as JMW Turner who loved being on and beside the River Thames here.
A really chilly morning and beautiful sunrise over Teddington Weir and Harbour. 24.10.2026 @TW11Harbour @Teddington_Town @LBRUT @Visit_Richmond1 @visitlondon @ThamesPathNT @SallyWeather @itvweather @Tidal_Thames95 @rnli_teddington @ThePhotoHour

Lovely view of All Saints church, Bisham from the Thames Path National Trail. This section of the public footpath is still open between Marlow and Temple Lock. Thank you @MyMarlowUK
All Saints’ Church in Bisham at 8.30am. Like the rowers, I’m trying to make the most of the day before the forecast rain arrives! Have a good weekend all, and today we have Marlow Artisan Market in Alison Court Gardens 10am-4pm 😊

Each poem refers to the well-known artists associated with these Thames-side locations: painter Sir Stanley Spencer in Cookham, poet, playwright and aesthete Oscar Wilde who was incarcerated in Reading Gaol, and world-famous musician George Michael who lived in Goring. Thank you n hear reading 'Vigilance' about the Thames lock-keepers. #thamespath30
