River Thames

Clare Balding heads to the waterways of the River Thames, which stretch over 200 miles from Gloucestershire to Essex, exploring the freshwater Thames, from its humble beginning and on as it meanders through beautiful countryside teeming with wildlife, grand estates and inspiring landscapes. On her trip, she views the 'dreaming spires' of Oxford, the landscapes that inspired Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, and the regal splendour of both Cliveden estate and Windsor Castle.
