A simple offset multi-cache which involves a pleasant walk across fields to the official source of the River Thames, near Kemble in Gloucestershire.
Although this is described as the official source, other than during very wet winter months you are very unlikely to see any water here - or indeed, any sign of a river bed! The REAL source of the Thames is at N51 41.126 W002 00.998, where the water bubbles up from an underground spring. If you are planning to walk between our Source and Kemble caches, we strongly recommend a look at the real source. See photo in the gallery.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Thames Path follows England's best known river for 184 miles (294km) as it meanders from its source in the Cotswolds through several rural counties and on to the City of London. On its way the Trail passes peaceful water meadows rich in wildlife, historic towns and many lovely villages, finishing at the Thames Barrier near Greenwich.
