Start: Henley
Finish: Henley

One of the most popular walks from Henley is the "Flower Pot Loop", an 8km (5 mile) loop which features a walk along the 2.5km (1.6 mile) straight part of the River Thames made famous by the Henley Royal Regatta, Temple Island, Hambleden Lock & Weir, The recently renovated Flower Pot pub and a scenic walk across the hill top and through Remenham Wood.

The walk is fairly easy and can be shortened by 200m by walking across the meadow between Hambleden Lock and the Flower Pot, rather than sticking to the Thames Path.

The route works equally well in either direction, though do note that the distance between the Flower Pot pub and Henley is 10-15 minutes shorter via the hill top than via the Thames Path.

This route can be followed using your smart phone. You can either download the route (GPX format) or follow the route using the Wikiloc App.
