Source of the Thames The Thames rises in the Cotswolds at Trewsbury Mead, 108.5 metres (356 feet) above sea level, though you have to use your imagination to a fair degree as for most of the year there is no sign of water. The source is marked by a solitary stone with the inscription: The Conservation of the River Thames 1857 -1974 This Stone was Placed Here to Mark the Source of the River Thames

View towards Trewsbury House from barns near Tarlton The source of the Thames is reputed to be in the hollow beyond the copse. In reality the source moves from here downstream for many miles each year, returning in a wet winter.

First water from the source of the Thames This is near the stone marking the official source of the Thames.. but the first location where water can be detected, even in dry spells. The abandoned harvester adds a feeling of the closeness of nature.
