The River Thames meanders through the southern region of England, stretching over 215 miles from its origin near Kemble until it finally merges with the North Sea near Southend. Along its course, the river flows peacefully through farmlands, rolling Cotswold Hills, and historic towns and cities like Oxford and Windsor, before finally reaching the bustling city of London. Over the past century, commercial traffic on the river has diminished, and it is now mostly used for leisure activities, with numerous marinas and sailing clubs dotting its length. Visitors can enjoy pleasant riverside walks along the Thames Path National Trail, which runs from the source of the river to the Thames Barrier.
