... past the junction with the now defunct Thames and Severn Canal, which marks the upper limit of the navigable Thames (or at least the limit for motor-powered boats). An old 'round house' stands at the point.
The Thames Path then diverts away from the river unfortunately....
... and onto the worst part of the entire 200 mile walk. Here we have to follow a busy main road, with no real footpath, for over a mile. Not much fun, especially as the sun was now beating down.
The path then detours through a winding series of country lanes and bridleways, where we saw deer grazing. (And we found some hay bales for a lie down).
A few more more miles of lanes, paths and bridleways, with the occasional glimpse of a shallow, reedy Thames, and onto Castle Eaton.
