Walking at Hurley Riverside Park
Hurley offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure in the heart of the Thames Valley. The park’s location makes it an ideal base for walkers, whether you’re looking for a gentle stroll or scenic hike through some woods a short drive away.
From the park, walkers can easily access the Thames Path National Trail, following the river past meadows, woodlands, and historic villages. Sadly, the route to Marlow is currently diverted away from the river due to the closure of Temple bridge. However the route to Henley-on-Thames is still provides a great journey with views of the water and plenty of spots to stop for a picnic.
For those wanting a more leisurely experience, the quiet lanes around Hurley Village are perfect for short, circular walk with minimal traffic. Families can enjoy safe walking within the park itself before venturing further afield.
The area is also rich in history, with routes passing by Hurley Church and Monks’ Barn , traditional pubs, and riverside landmarks. With flat stretches alongside the Thames and gentle climbs into the Chiltern Hills, there’s something to suit every pace.
If you don’t mind a drive there are some other great walks including Marlow Trenches and Burnham beeches. If you have other favourites please let us know so we can add them to this page!
