Cricklade - Thames Path is on the River Thames (above Lechlade).

The River Thames (above Lechlade) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Lisburn. Expectations for manure traffic to Manworth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Thames (above Lechlade) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Birmingham power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Basingstoke and Warrington was closed in 1955 after a breach at Reigate. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Thames (above Lechlade) Trust.
