With increasing pressure for new development along the Thames Estuary, particularly throughout the Thames Gateway, it is vital that access to the river is enhanced and maintained as a resource for both recreation and education. In recognition of this, the Thames Estuary Partnership and its Recreation & Access Action Group recently produced the Thames Path: City to Sea brochure and Technical Document.

This exciting rights of way initiative for the outer Thames Estuary provides a vision for a continuous, shared access coastal trail from the Thames Barrier to the outer reaches on both sides of the Estuary.
