Enjoy the beauty of the upper reaches of the River Thames following the riverside from historic Oxford to its source in the Cotswolds.  Following the riverbank there is plenty to sustain interest, with boating activity on the river and ancient villages such as Lechlade and Ashton Keynes to explore. We stay for a week at the village of Bourton-on-the-Water and each day travel by private coach to start and end the walk.
