The river winds for three quarters of a mile to Lechlade, where it passes under  Halfpenny Bridge (or Ha'penny Bridge), which is so named because it was once a toll bridge.
Half a mile after Lechlade there is a connection to the former Thames and Severn Canal, which linked the Thames to the River Severn via the Stroudwater Navigation and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal.
The Thames and Severn Canal is the subject of a restoration plan, and so navigation beyond Lechlade may one day be possible again.
The River Coln also joins the Thames at the canal junction, where there is sufficient room to wind a 70 ft narrowboat with care.
There are no more locks upstream on the River Thames, with Lechlade normally considered to be the end of the navigable river, but there is a right of navigation as far as Cricklade, and small craft may be able to travel for a further three miles beyond Lechlade when there is plenty of water in the river.

The Thames Path follows the remaining towpath along the southern bank past Lechlade to Inglesham.
The towpath extends upstream as far as the connection with the now disused Thames and Severn Canal at Inglesham, one and a half miles  upstream.
  A new permissive path continues alongside the river as far as Upper Inglesham where the path leaves the riverside.
The Thames Path next crosses the river at Water Eaton House Bridge, then Eysey Footbridge before arriving at Cricklade.
Beyond Inglesham there was no towpath established for navigation, and so if no other riverside right of way exists (or permissive path made), the Thames path diverts away from the river to extend the route to Thames Head.
The Thames Path makes significant diversions away from the river (in order going downstream) at Ewen, Ashton Keynes, Cricklade, Castle Eaton and Upper Inglesham.
