Welcome to Turkey Island

Turkey Island is a small island located in the River Thames in Hampshire, England. The island is approximately 1.5 acres in size and is situated between the towns of Old Windsor and Wraysbury. The island is accessible only by boat and is a popular spot for fishing, picnicking, and bird watching. The island is also home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, swans, and herons.

The history of Turkey Island dates back to the 16th century when it was used as a hunting ground for turkeys. The island was later used as a grazing ground for cattle and sheep. In the 19th century, the island was purchased by the Duke of Wellington, who used it as a private fishing spot. The island was later sold to a private owner and has remained in private ownership ever since.

Today, Turkey Island is a peaceful and secluded spot that offers a unique escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The island is a popular destination for boaters and anglers, and its tranquil surroundings make it the perfect spot for a relaxing picnic or a quiet afternoon of bird watching. Despite its small size, Turkey Island is a hidden gem that is well worth a visit for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of Hampshire.
