Ray Mill Island

Ray Mill Island

Ray Mill Island is an island in the River Thames in England at Boulter's Lock near Maidenhead, Berkshire.

The island is now a park administered by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and there are a small number of private residences on the island. It is named after the Ray family who once had a flour mill here. The mill was constructed in 1726 on the site of a previous mill, and continued to produce flour until the 1920s. The island has subsequently been the location of a hotel.

Boulter's weir is at the top end of this island.
