Fiddler's Island, River island near Port Meadow, Oxford, England.
Fiddler's Island stands between the River Thames and Castle Mill Stream, featuring tree-lined shores and multiple connecting waterways throughout its length.
In 1852, Oxford City Council designated Fiddler's Island as an official public bathing location, marking it among the earliest authorized swimming spots in Oxford.
The Thames Path traverses the island, connecting with the wider network of historic walking routes that define the Oxford riverside experience.
Three different bridges provide access to the island: Medley Footbridge, a Bailey bridge, and a small footbridge leading toward Osney Bridge.
The northern section remains narrow while the southern part expands, creating distinct environments for mooring boats and exploring the natural surroundings.
