    The source of the River Thames is found in a remote Cotswold meadow on the edge of the village of Kemble. This spot marks the official start of the 184 mile (296 km) Thames Path.

      A little difficult to find, but if you can move freely across the meadows with GPS, you will also find the source of the Thames.
