Have you seen the QR codes on some Thames Path fingerposts? These take you to the Thames Path Poems written and read by Robert Seatter to celebrate our 30th anniversary. They're all on the Visit Thames website too. #FingerpostFriday

Poet Robert Seatter at Cleeve Lock reading 'Vigilance' his poem about the Thames Lock-keepers watched by walkers on the Thames Path Relay

Roger Baker, the TP volunteer coordinator, nails the QR code for the poem 'Source' to the fingerpost at the source of the River Thames

Scan me as you pass this fingerpost in Cricklade to hear and read 'Fritillary Meadow' poem about the North Meadow National Nature Reserve

Robert's poem about William Morris and his love of the names of tributary rivers is on this fingerpost near Kelmscott Manor.
