Hallsmead Ait
From Wikishire
Hallsmead Ait is an island in the River Thames belonging to Berkshire. It is on the reach above Shiplake Lock near Lower Shiplake.[1]
The island is large and triangular shaped, forming a pair with The Lynch, a similarly shaped island. It is uninhabited and covered with a wide variety of trees. Although it is positioned towards the Oxfordshire bank of the river, it is actually in Berkshire as the border loops around to the west of the island.
Berry Brook starts close to the Redgrave-Pinsent Rowing Lake to the south-west, running north-east through the Thames floodplain, before joining the river at Hallsmead Ait.
