Romney Island

Romney Island is an island in the River Thames in England connected to Romney Lock, at Windsor, Berkshire.

It is a long thin island with trees and scrub, with the upstream end in Windsor and the downstream end almost at Black Potts.

The island has always been a popular place for angling and Isaak Walton used to fish from here.
