Shiplake railway station

Handbuck Eyot or Handbuck Ait is a thin, wooded island in the River Thames in England towards the eastern edge of the villages of Shiplake, Oxfordshire. It is on the reach above Marsh Lock.

Poplar Eyot or Poplar Ait is an island in the River Thames in England near the villages of Shiplake, Oxfordshire and Wargrave, Berkshire. It is on the reach above Marsh Lock.The island is wooded and only accessible by boat. It has immediately downstream much less pronounced and smaller wooded islets, which are submerged when the river is in spate after major rainfall or snow melt across the catchment); they lie below the grounds of buildings Bolney Court and Thames Side Court which have formal geometric landscaped gardens on the Shiplake bank, and it has always been part of the parish since its medieval founding; though is slightly closer to the Wargrave bank.

The River Loddon is a tributary of the River Thames in southern England. It rises at Basingstoke in Hampshire and flows northwards for 28 miles (45 km) to meet the Thames at Wargrave in Berkshire. Together, the Loddon and its tributaries drain an area of 400 square miles (1,036 km2).The river had many active mills, and has many remnants of flow modifications by the building up of mill pond reaches with weirs and sluices and the adjacent mill races (also called leats). Most of these used wheels to generate their power – two used water turbines. One was a silk mill for a short period, and one was a paper mill, with the rest milling corn or producing flour. Several have been converted to become homes or hotels, but Longbridge Mill has been restored and still operates occasionally. The river has been used for recreational and possibly minor commercial navigation and in drier spells it can be safely canoed in some places.The Loddon is a habitat for diverse wildlife. Former gravel workings have become Loddon Nature Reserve and Dinton Pastures Country Park. A section of it is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest due to rare populations of bulbs and pondweed. Improvements made to the river under the Water Framework Directive, have included the installation of a fish bypass at Arborfield Mill for migratory species including salmon.

Shiplake Lock is a lock and weir situated on the River Thames in England between the villages of Shiplake and Lower Shiplake, Oxfordshire. It is just above the points where the River Loddon joins the Thames and Shiplake Railway Bridge crosses the river. The first pound lock was built by the Thames Navigation Commission in 1773. The weir is some distance upstream of the lock between the lock island and Berkshire bank.

Shiplake Railway Bridge carries the Henley Branch Line to Henley-on-Thames, England across the River Thames, connecting Shiplake in Oxfordshire with Wargrave in Berkshire. It crosses the river just downstream of Shiplake Lock on the reach above Marsh Lock.

Ferry Eyot or Ferry Ait is an island in the River Thames in England near the villages of Shiplake, Oxfordshire and Wargrave, Berkshire. It is on the reach above Marsh Lock. The island is named after Bolney Ferry which operated across the river at this point carrying barge horses across to the towpath on the opposite side. This was recorded as being a rope ferry in 1775, and the name for this spot then was Beggar's Hole (or Hall) - deriving from one of the seven halls of Harpsden House which was demolished at the end of the eighteenth century.

Hennerton Backwater is a narrow backwater of the River Thames on the reach above Marsh Lock near the villages of Shiplake, Oxfordshire and Wargrave, Berkshire.Hennerton Backwater leaves the River Thames at the Unnamed Eyot, passing through Willow Marina, and rejoins just below Ferry Eyot. It is navigable by small boats from the downstream end for much of its length, but the bridge carrying Willow Lane over its upstream end has very limited clearance restricting passage to canoes and small dinghies even under favourable conditions. The island formed by the backwater and the Thames comprises Wargrave Marsh (now mostly drained) and Lashbrook Eyot (no longer distinct), and contains housing, farmland, and the premises of Henley Sailing Club.

The Unnamed Eyot is an island in the River Thames in Berkshire, England, north of the village of Wargrave, Berkshire, its parish in civil terms and ecclesiastical parish in the Church of England. It is on the reach above Marsh Lock.The 2.378-acre (0.962 ha) low-lying narrow island, wooded and about 200m long, has a tennis court and internally a large fish pond which reduces its area but was excavated between 1907 and 2000 to help build up its level, being next to a broad area equipped with designated flood-meadows known as Wargrave Marsh. Immediately above it is where the river is joined by the Loddon draining an area larger than central Berkshire. Immediately below and on the banks on this reach the keeping of extensive centuries-established flood meadows, once used more widely for pasture than today — more are used as gardens today in Berkshire than as farmland — means the extra flows are evened out so as not to cause flash flooding to Henley and all towns below. It is separated by a thin navigable channel used for mooring against the east (Wargrave) bank, and accessible by a footbridge, being part of the grounds of a private house. The ait is the largest example which is part of one owner's garden below Oxford. The Ordnance Survey shows no name for the island.
