Step away from the hustle and bustle of life and immerse yourself in a true micro adventure that explores some beautiful, remote and nature rich streams just South of the Thames in Berkshire.

Remarkably it is only a stone’s throw from the typically busy and bustling Thames, this backwater is sure to be an adventure in the true sense of the word; it will be unusual, exciting and not without an element of uncertainty to it! Best completed as a fulfilling half-day journey.

Starting from a public access spot on the river, Embrace Adventure take you for a brief swim across the river from the South to North bank before enjoying a quiet walk upstream. The Thames path here unusually winds through several stunning houses and gardens eventually arriving close to the spur off the river – St Patrick's Stream on the opposite bank.  The stream delivers intrigue, delight and surprises around every corner.  At times just a few feet deep, but always swimable, with a very small weir and often encroaching trees from the bank makes this a swim for the competent and adventurous.

Suitable for: more experienced open water swimmers
