A beautiful and peaceful spot in Maidenhead with lovely riverside views, well-kept gardens, and plenty of wildlife. During my visit, I even spotted a squirrel enjoying the surroundings! The island is clean, relaxing, and perfect for a leisurely walk or simply sitting by the water and watching the world go by. A hidden gem that I would happily visit again.
Beautiful little spot beside the river. Toilet facilities and ice cream/cafe. Beautiful location for my nieces 3rd birthday party. Dont follow sat nav onto the island, dont cross the bridge, there is no parking there and turnibg around can be tricky!
Was a beautiful place to have a picnic with some friends including one using a wheelchair.
Walk through the park and on a sunnier day it would have been a more enjoyable experience.. We just needed to stretch our legs as it was on our route.. And we were very surprised.. nice woodland parkwith pathways and a little zoo with birds and guinea pigs .. Café and toilet facilities if you want to enjoy a cuppa and a snack.. otherwise take your own picnic as there's plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings...
An awesome family and kids friendly picnic spot. I started coming here in 2004/2005 and it has changed slightly with fresh look A flyover bridge over the river to go to monkey island for a longer walk. Some of the old trees have fallen, hence replaced with new trees now. The water fall is an amazing feature at the end of the day mill island. Ducks, birds and wildlife are another feature, also there’s small aviary where small beautiful birds are kept including doves, finch, parrots etc. There’s small place where you can play tennis, badminton etc too. There’s a small cafe, ice cream parlour as well (opens during the day time only)
