Isleworth Ait

Isleworth Ait, 3.5 hectares, is a teardrop shaped island in the River Thames. It is on the Tideway near Isleworth, and is one of the longest aits. It lies offshore from Heron's Place, and is opposite the "London Apprentice" public house.
Isleworth Ait is covered by densely packed trees, and provides a sanctuary for a variety of wildlife. It floods regularly, but is home to more than 57 species of bird life, including the tree-creeper, kingfisher and heron.
