Alney Island, River island in Gloucester, United Kingdom.

The River Severn splits into East and West Channels around Alney Island, forming a strip of land 2.1 miles long and 0.74 miles wide.

Telford's Over Bridge, connecting Alney Island to Over across the West Channel, stands as a testament to 19th-century engineering and transport development.

The island maintains traditional agricultural practices with low-lying farmland while supporting modern residential areas along three main streets.

Visitors can explore the island through designated walking paths and bicycle routes, with the main trail starting from Gloucester railway station.

The local Nature Reserve status protects diverse wildlife populations that adapt to periodic flooding patterns from the River Severn.
