A friend of mine recently sent me some interesting information about the River Thames and while, like you I'm familiar with the river cruises and Duck Tours in London and Windsor, my eye was caught by the stretch that heads north westwards towards Oxford and the Cotswolds. A closer look revealed some fascinating stately homes and privately owned gardens, literary links and some wonderful riverside pubs and places for English Afternoon Tea.
There's so much to work with that I'm putting together two Britain Insider columns. This week's Read More will take you to the stretch between Oxford and Reading with a side trip to Downton Abbey. Next week, I'm taking a look at the river between Henley on Thames and Windsor.
