Gibraltar Islands, River islands in Cookham Dean, England
Two connected islands stand in the River Thames above Bourne End Railway Bridge, forming a natural division in the waterway near Cookham Lock.
The islands originated from multiple smaller aits where communities traditionally cultivated osiers, supporting local basket-making industries along the Thames.
The islands face Quarry Wood, a location that influenced Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows and Jerome K. Jerome's literary works.
A footbridge links both islands, while the surrounding waters provide options for boating activities and riverside paths for walking.
Several residential properties occupy space on these Thames islands, offering inhabitants a water-enclosed living environment near Berkshire.
