It suggests that “the section of Thames Path between Upper Inglesham and Inglesham is currently best negotiated by taxi or bus”.

The section is just over a mile long and follows a main road rather than the river.

Taxis can be called out from nearby Lechlade on (01367) 252575 or (01367) 253424.

The fare is about £5.

Buses 64 and 74 run between Lechlade and Upper Inglesham except on Sundays.

Traffic has increase since the route was planned in the 1980s. A management strategy published in 2006 indicated that negotiations on an alternative route were “moving forward”.

There is advance notice of a much longer closure from the evening of Friday 9 March to Monday morning 12 March.

The diversion is by way of Hopton Street, Southwark Street and Blackfriars Road.

There  will also be some weekend closures.

These measures are to allow the construction of the new Blackfriars Station to be completed this Spring. The new southern station entrance will remain open on weekdays.

The Daily Telegraph has the story today.

The partly Saxon church, restored by William Butterfield, is near the Thames Path which runs through the Wiltshire village near Cricklade.

LBC 97.3 has released this video of conditions at Richmond on Tuesday.

The section highlighted is Richmond to Hampton Court and was chosen by panel member Juliette Dyke who lives in the area and says the seven mile stretch is “packed with history, culture and gorgeous scenery”.

It’s an interesting spread of walks across Britain.
