Fiddler's Island

Fiddler's Island is an island in the River Thames near Oxford in England. It is situated alongside Port Meadow on the reach above Osney Lock.

The thin island sits between the Thames and Castle Mill Stream, the old navigation. It has a row of trees along it and the Thames Path runs the length of it.
