Exploring the Thames Wilderness: A guide to the natural Thames
The River Thames is an often, undiscovered haven of stunning scenery, wonderful wildlife and brilliant natural beauty. As well as the famous stretches passing through our biggest cities and towns, there is a hidden side to the river; wild and natural, but surprisingly accessible.
This unique guidebook was researched, mapped, photographed and written by Wendy and Dick on behalf of the two major Thames River conservation charities. It contains a wealth of information about more than 150 of the best places to explore the real Thames wilderness; along with 10 circular walks taking in the most attractive and interesting nature reserves and parts of the river.
An essential source of ideas for days out and handy for on the go, Exploring the Thames Wilderness opens up the beauty of the Thames to everyone. Organised geographically, the book provides information on the history and character of each stretch of the river and the featured sites within it. Illustrated with maps and photos, the text highlights which plants and wildlife to watch out for, local activities, how to get there and nearby moorings, cycle paths and car parks. Each section features a circular walk, tying together several of the sites and accompanied by an attractive hand-drawn map. Published by Adlard Coles Nautical, Bloomsbury PLC, May 2013.
