This hands-on beachcombing experience will show you a different side of the River Thames.
Also known as mudlarking, this fun (and muddy!) hobby will see you exploring the edge of the river at low tide where centuries-old artifacts, discarded ceramics, clay pipes, pottery fragments and other interesting objects sometimes wash up in the water.
A local guide will accompany your small group of no more than 15 people down to the water's edge and supply you with a pair of gloves and some plastic bags to put your finds in. They will also help you identify any treasures that you might find and provide some historical insights.
Note: You definitely need to wear a sturdy pair of hiking boots or wellington boots because the foreshore is very stony, and you never know what you might step on. You should also expect to get very muddy.
