Welcome to Bikely, take a step by step tour of this path:
Press Start Tour - then use the navigation buttons below to move along the path.
This trip takes you on the Thames Way and by the river most of the way. Although you are slowed up by lots of barriers on route it's a lovely route on a sunny day and taking it easy. I would recommend for mountain bike only due to the mud if it rains.
