Rose Isle from upstreamThe former Swan Inn on Rose Isle
The island is tree-covered and has a narrow channel behind it crossed by a footbridge. It was formerly used for the growing of osiers (basket willows, used for basketry, furniture, and cart-making). The house on the island replaces the Swan Hotel which was formerly a well-known stopping point on the river.[1] The island was also known in the past as Kennington Island or St Michael's Island.
