This Heron waterways map covers the River Thames from its source, just outside Kemble in Gloucestershire, to the Thames Barrier, along with the Thames Path long distance walk. The Thames and Severn Canal is also featured from Sapperton Tunnel to the Thames at Inglesham. The map provides detailed information for both waterways and leisure users, and it is complimented by information panels and photographs.

The River Thames flows through southern England for some 215 miles, from its source near Kemble until it reaches the North Sea near Southend. It runs through tranquil farmland and countryside, the rolling Cotswold Hills, passes through historic towns and cities such as Oxford and Windsor and on to London, the thriving city it helped to create. The last century has seen commercial traffic replaced by leisure craft with numerous marinas dotted along its length, as well as rowing and sailing clubs. The Thames Path National Trail follows the river from its source to the Thames Barrier offering pleasant riverside walks.

This cruising and tourist map of the River Thames and Thames Path is at a scale of 1:55,000. There are detailed town plans of Lechlade, Oxford, Abingdon, Wallingford, Henley-on-Thames, central Reading, Windsor and Eton, Marlow and Kingston upon Thames at a scale of 1:12,500.

This map includes navigation and historical information, visitor moorings, marinas and boatyards, boat hire centres, facilities for the boat user, rowing, sailing and boat clubs, shops and distance markers. Information for the tourist includes tourist information centres, places of interest, pubs, nature reserves, parks, churches, national cycle routes, long distance paths, public toilets, youth hostels, caravan, and camp sites.
