Discover the River Thames through small places, fascinating stories and memorable family adventures.

Questbound Explore the Thames is a beautifully illustrated family guide that follows the river from its source area to Teddington. Along the way, children and adults can explore historic towns, peaceful villages, remarkable bridges, riverside wildlife and the people and ideas that have shaped the Thames.

Designed for curious children and the adults exploring with them, the book combines accessible local history with observation challenges, creative activities, discussion questions and 24 optional photo missions. Dedicated spaces allow young explorers to add their own photographs, drawings and memories, turning every copy into a personal record of their Thames adventures.

Families can follow the journey in order, choose a single destination for a day out or enjoy the activities at home. There is no need to visit every place or complete every challenge—the book encourages readers to slow down, look carefully and discover what makes each location special.
