The All Saints Church at Bisham Abbey

A beautiful walk along the Thames Path from Marlow to Bisham village, which has been know by various names down the centuries, was recorded in Domesday with its villagers, cottages, slaves, vines and meadowland. A church was also recorded there, no doubt on the beautiful riverside site of the present building, the oldest part of which is the 12th century tower, The parapet, battlements and brick quoins were added in the 15th century, The tower contains three bells dating back to 1840.

Dave Williams | Pulteney Weir and Bridge in Bath

Pulteney Weir and Bridge in Bath

A Weir on the River Avon has appeared on maps of Bath, England, ever since 1603. Located just downriver from Pulteney Bridge, the Pulteney Weir was built in the late Middle Ages to prevent the river from flooding the town of Bath. The weir - a low barrier built across a river in order to control water level and regulate flow - was completely rebuilt in the early 1970's and given a more effective and now iconic V-shape design. A sluice and controlled flood gates were also added in the upgrade. Just upstream from the weir is Pulteney Bridge, constructed in the 1770's. The bridge is one of only four bridges worldwide with shops across the full span on both sides.

This is an area of wet woodlands and lowland heath providing an increasingly rare habitat which supports life for many birds and invertebrates. On this walk, you can explore the views, flora and fauna of the broadleaved and coniferous woodlands, the naturally created Heath Pond, and the rare delights of a heathland habitat.
