Furzey Island is an island in Poole Harbour in the English county of Dorset. The island lies to the south of the larger Brownsea Island. Seen from the water, or adjoining land, the island looks like another wild pineclad island. However, hidden in the trees is an oil well and gathering station for the Wytch Farm Oil Field, which is linked by pipeline to Hamble on Southampton Water. The tall oil rig, a big landmark of Southern Poole Harbour is the main landmark between Brownsea and Furzey.
