Lion Island (Old Windsor)

Lion Island is a small uninhabited island in the River Thames in England on the reach above Old Windsor Lock, near Old Windsor, Berkshire.

The island is a thin wooded strip separated by a narrow channel on the north bank.

The island is the relict of three long parallel islands which existed at this point before the creation of the Old Windsor Lock cut.

One of these was called Nickcroft Ait, and an obstruction known as "Newman's Bucks" existed between two of them [1]
