The Thames Path - Marlow to Henley

Saturday 26 July, 2008



The path gets back to the river at Aston - the road is called Ferry Lane, but the ferry probably stopped around 1920

 
At Hambledon Lock you can walk across the river, but the Thames Path stays on the south bank.

Greenlands was built in 1810 but extended in 1871 for W H Smith, the founder of the stationery chain, who became a loyal Tory MP and was rewarded for his party loyalty by being made First Lord of the Admiralty in 1877. Gilbert and Sullivan satirised him in 'HMS Pinafore' as the "ruler of the Queen's Navy" who had never seen a ship.
 
   
     
There was a wedding reception at the former fishing lodge on Temple Island. This is roughly on the start line for Henley regatta
