The Thames is supposed to be a gentle walk. Flat. Easy. Scenic.
At least, that’s the theory.
In The Thames Path: Going Round the Bend, Paul Amess follows England’s most famous river on foot, from quiet countryside to full-blown London chaos, via history, blisters, bad signage, and far too much time alone with his thoughts.
Along the way there are misleading “easy” stretches, unexpected detours, aching feet, and the creeping realisation that walking may have been wildly oversold as a relaxing pastime. But there is also history everywhere you look if you slow down enough. Romans, kings, rebels, engineers, pirates, suffragettes, and visionaries all left their mark on the Thames, often in ways that seem baffling in hindsight.
This is not a guidebook. You will not be told how fast to walk or which socks to buy. Instead, this is a funny, curious journey along the Thames Path, pausing for forgotten places, strange details, and the stories that cling to the riverbanks.
For walkers, armchair travellers, lovers of British history, and anyone who has ever trusted a sign that said flat and easy and regretted it.
