Slightly out of the walking season. Starts at Putney Bridge and finishes upstream at Chiswick Bridge. 4 miles and 374 yards.

Held in the grounds of the Royal Chelsea Hospital on the left bank of the Thames

This year it will be held in Kings Meadow, alongside the Thames Path just past Caversham Lock.

Upmarket music festival featuring Grace Jones, Kaiser Chiefs, Bjorn Again, Rick Astley

Warm-up event for Henley Regatta

Not to be confused with Marlow Town Regatta, this is an international event actually held at Dorney Lake (between Maidenhead and Windsor)

Knights of the Garter gather with the Queen at Windsor Castle. Knights include UK Royal Family members, European Kings and Queens, and ex-prime ministers and senior civil servants.

The premier horse racing event of the year attended by the Queen. Just 7 miles from Windsor so why not take a day off from the walk?

It's a great time to visit Henley but book early as Henley will be very busy during this time

An upmarket music festival for more mature pop fans. This year's line up is yet to be announced but previous acts include Madness, James Blunt, Sister Sledge, and Classic FM. Like the Regatta held in the previous week, accommodation will be limited.

Considered to be the largest classical music festival in the world, this mostly takes place in the fabulous Royal Albert Hall in London

The airbase is a mile or so north of the Thames in the upper reaches between Cricklade and Lechlade. Expect to see (and hear) fighter jets.

Swan Upping is the process by which unmarked swans are assigned to the Crown and two livery companies from the City of London. Starting at Sunbury, the three groups row as far as Abingdon and mark the swans they catch.

Another regatta! Smaller than the others but also less crowded.

This is a rock festival held on farmland adjoining the Thames. The Path goes right past the festival and diversions are in place only at night. Expect loud music if staying near Reading during that time.

This festival attracts some high profile speakers. 2021's guests included Gyles Brandreth, Ed Miliband, Ruby Wax and John Simpson. Venues are held throughout the town.
