Over the years, authors, artists and amblers aplenty have felt the pull of the Thames, and now travel writer Tom Chesshyre is following in their footsteps. He's walking the length of the river from the Cotswolds to the North Sea - a winding journey of over 200 miles. Join him for an illuminating stroll past meadows, churches, palaces, country (and council) estates, factories and dockyards.

Seeing some familiar sights through new eyes, and meeting a host of interesting characters along the way, Chesshyre explores the living present and remarkable past of England's longest and most iconic river.

I purchased this book after completing the walk, I wish I had it before. This book was suggested to me by a stranger while I was on the walk. Although I didn't follow his exact path, I recognized and related to many things in this book. This book would be great for anyone thinking of doing the walk.

Very good listen, superbly read by David Thorpe who I have to say, having heard him several times now, is brilliant.
Takes into account the people, the places, with a good dose of humour, which by the sounds of it is essential for this journey.
The one thing that gets on your nerves is dear old Tom banging on about Brexit...why? Get over it Tom, we have had the vote,don't let it get to you...This aside it was still a good listen, but I have scored it 4 stars for the story as he let himself down with the politics.

I think Tom could become a name for the future, he has the attention to observe people and the places he visits spot on and I wish him well.

Very enjoyable romp along The Thames
