Boulter's Island

Boulter's Island is an island in the River Thames at Boulter's Lock, in the north-east suburbs of Maidenhead, Berkshire.[1] It is next to the Maidenhead (west) bank, separated by the lock cut. Boulter's Island is accessible by motor vehicle via Boulter's Bridge across the tail of Boulter's Lock. The island has a number of private houses, a restaurant and a small boatyard with a slipway.

Ray Mill Island lies alongside to the east and is a public park, separated from Boulter's Island by the Ray Mill Stream.

Richard Dimbleby, the BBC broadcaster, lived for many years in a house on Boulter's Island.[2]
