The Thames: Hampton to Richmond Walker`s Guide
David McDowall’s Walker’s Guide to The Thames: Hampton to Richmond Bridge gives the reader eight exceptionally detailed walking routes along this stretch of the Thames, which reveal the rich relationship that exists between the river, its landscape and its history.Far from merely outlining routes and providing directions, this guide constitutes one of the best-researched and richly detailed walking guides available for this stretch of the River Thames. Each walk section includes a route description and is accompanied by an explanatory text, providing an extraordinary amount of information on the River’s rich history of human activity; river craft; its geology, ecology, flora and fauna; the surrounding landscape; and the cast of characters who have lived along the River and have been inspired by it. This wonderful guide also contains many hand-drawn black and white illustrations, diagrams and maps to supplement the text.
