The Thames is there to enjoy any day of the 
year but don’t forget to look out for special 
events too. Sporting spectacles include the 
Henley Royal Regatta and the Royal Windsor 
Triathlon, while Reading’s Children’s Festival 
and Henley’s Food Festival are also worth 
putting in your diary.

Don’t just walk beside the river – get stuck in! 
With around 30 species of fish, the Thames has 
some of the best coarse fishing in the country. 
Buy a rod licence (available from the post 
office or online at www.environment-agency.
gov.uk/rodlicence) and find out about day 
tickets, free fishing sites and special 
permits for lock and weir fishing at www.
visitthames.co.uk/fishing before you set off.
