thames _above

The Thames is the most famous and best loved of English rivers, for centuries an inspiration to writer and artist alike. This DVD captures the delights of its upper reaches in a journey commencing at the river's official head of navigation, Lechlade in Gloucestershire and continuing down as far as the approach to Reading, in Berkshire. A distance of some 70 miles, this winding course is far removed from the busy Capital waterway so often associated with the Thames. Instead, it takes us through many river-side towns and villages, full of character and individual charm. Join us on this cruise through English history, and view first hand the manors, abbeys and battle sites that line its ancient banks. We also go in search of this celebrated river's source, with surprising results.
