Overview

A circular walk, down the River Thames and back up the Jubilee River. Starting from Taplow we work our way over to the River Thames and walk down the side taking in the views off the river and beautiful houses on the river bank. We pass Bray Lock then work our way over to the Jubilee River and work our way back up to Taplow, passing the lovely Taplow Lake.
