Hiking
You can hike onto Desborough Island at either the east or west side, over public access bridges. It is a quiet and calm place and walking its perimeter is generally much less busy than the Thames Path.
The island was created in the 1930s by the digging of a straight channel to remove a meandering section of the River Thames.
