Before reaching Oxford, the Thames (also known as the Isis River, which is the literary name of the Thames) turned to the north, circling around the wooded Mount Wesson and Mount Cannor (two mountains overlooking Oxford from the west). In Cote, Wolffer, there is a lateral flow to a paper mill, which has been manufacturing high-grade paper for Oxford University Press from1early 7th century to 1943. The famous university town is surrounded by gravel and there are many staggered stagnant waters. In summer, elegant flat-bottomed cruise ships, 8-person rowing boats and single-person rowing boats flourish. There, you can also see some decorated canal boats crossing the Oxford Canal between the West Midlands and northern England.
The Thames in Oxford is 46 meters (150 feet) wide. It receives three tributaries from the north, namely Windrush River, Evenlode River and Cherwell River, and then turns to the south, passes through Nuneham forest and reaches Abingdon, a market town. In abington, there is an Oak River that flows from Baima Valley. Then it flows eastward and southward through the ancient towns such as Dorchester (where there are temples in the14th century) and Wallingford. After crossing the Goering Canyon between Chiltern Hills and Downs Cliff in Berkshire, the beautiful valley with beech forests on both sides meets the Great Western Railway (London to Penzance). After rushing out of the chalk cliff, Pombourne accepted the Panghe River. The first chapter of The Wind in the Willows written by kenneth grahame, a banker and writer, describes the pleasure of "rocking the boat leisurely" here.
Soon after the Thames entered Reading, it joined the kennet River. Turn north along the steep slope of Chiltern Mountain to Henry on the Thames, where the annual regatta will be held, and then flow eastward and southward from Clivi House (formerly the residence of Astor family, now owned by the National Trusteeship Association) to Maidenhead. From there, it becomes a wide river flowing eastward, passing through Eton College, Windsor Castle of the Royal Family and Lannimide, where the Magna Carta was drafted 12 15. In Stannis, the Cologne River flows from the north bank. Near London, there are many villas lined up on both sides of the Thames, and yachts in "luxury bars" are parked in private berths, just like showing off their wealth.
However, the Thames is also a popular entertainment place. There are thousands of public parks and green spaces on both sides of the river, which are widely (and sometimes even conflicting) used by many sunbathers, swimmers, walkers, anglers, boaters, canoeists, campers and birdwatchers. Less obviously, the nearby Thames provides most of the water for this metropolis. Between Windsor and Hampton on the western edge of London, about 6.5438+0.8 million cubic meters (636 million cubic feet) of water is pumped into huge storage tanks for treatment and distribution every day. The water passes through huge sewage treatment facilities in Mogden, west London, Becton and Crosnes, east London, and finally returns to the Thames.
In Tetdington, the river is 76 meters (250 feet) wide. Tidal reach with protective dikes on both banks has been widened, with London Bridge River 229 meters (750 feet) wide, Graveson de 640 meters (2 100 feet) wide and Noel 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) wide. The tidal reach of the Thames joins the Brent River in brentford, the Wonder River in Wandsworth, the Ravensbourne River in Deptford and the Leigh River in Blackwall. It joins the Durrant River not far east of Iriz, but joins the Medway River, its largest tributary, in Rochester. There are many regular ferries in this section of the Thames, which is the best view of the city from the ferry deck.
You can also see the charming and beautiful scenery from the Millennium Bridge (completed in 2000, completed and reopened in 2002), which is the only footbridge on the Thames; You can also overlook London from the London Eye of the Ferris wheel. You can also see other interesting sights by boat in London, including the Royal Botanical Garden, Tate British Art Museum, Parliament House, London Eye, tate modern, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, the former Royal Naval Academy in Greenwich and the Millennium Dome, and the shining steel frame symbolizing the Thames Watergate in Thailand.
For centuries, London has had a vital influence on the Thames. A regulation in 1393 gave citizens the right to dismantle the Thames dam, and then the water police belonging to the mayor of London strengthened the right to control shipping. 177 1 year, an act of parliament authorized the Times Committee to build a ship lock upstream of Maidenhead, while the London company completed similar improvements downstream.
/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, the busy cargo transportation extended to Lehrer upstream, and a canal (now abandoned) was dug from Lehrer, passing through Cotswood Mountain, passing through the 2-mile Sapton Tunnel (opened in 1789) and connecting with the Severn River. The modern flow control system of Thames River and the arrangement of 48 locks on the river are very suitable. The largest Taidington Lock was built in 1 81year, with a length of198m (650ft) and three gates, which can pass through1tugboat and six barges at one time.
Thames can be crossed in many places, and there are 16 bridges in Greater London alone. Most of them are highway bridges and railway bridges, but some of them, such as Jinxi Bridge and Millennium Bridge mentioned above, are pedestrian bridges. There are also two pedestrian tunnels, one in Greenwich and the other in woolwich, and some expressways and railway tunnels. Woolwich Ferry connects woolwich in Greenwich and North woolwich in Newham.
