Welcome to Turkey Island

Turkey Island is a small island located in the River Arun in West Sussex, England. The island is approximately 1.5 acres in size and is accessible only by boat. The island is named after the wild turkeys that were once kept on the island by the owner of the nearby Arundel Castle. Today, the island is a popular spot for fishing, picnicking, and birdwatching.

The island is home to a variety of bird species, including kingfishers, herons, and swans. The island's location in the River Arun makes it an important stopover for migratory birds. The island is also home to a small colony of rabbits, which can often be seen grazing on the grassy areas of the island. Visitors to the island can enjoy a peaceful walk around the perimeter of the island, taking in the beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

In addition to its natural beauty, Turkey Island also has a rich history. The island was once used as a landing point for smugglers, who would bring contraband goods up the River Arun to be sold in nearby towns. The island was also used as a training ground for soldiers during World War II. Today, visitors to the island can explore the remains of the old military buildings and learn about the island's fascinating history.
