Hollyhock Island, River island in Wraysbury, England.
Hollyhock Island stands between Bell Weir Lock and Penton Hook Lock on the River Thames, featuring natural landscapes and diverse habitats.
The island once contained a residence called 'The Nest', which Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson reportedly used as a private retreat.
The waters surrounding Hollyhock Island serve as traditional fishing grounds, maintaining connections with local recreational practices.
Access to Hollyhock Island requires water transportation, as there are no bridges or direct connections from the mainland.
The island's position between Holm Island and the north bank of the Thames creates a small channel with specific ecological characteristics.
