Aston’s Eyot is a nature reserve in East Oxford. It’s managed entirely by volunteers of the Friends of Aston’s Eyot charity.
The eyot is a 32 acre island in Oxford. It’s formed by the River Thames, the River Cherwell and Shire Lake Ditch. A few decades ago it was a rubbish tip and now it’s a haven for wildlife – a mix of woodland, open area and scrub.
You can access and enjoy the nature reserve responsibly. It’s a great place for a quiet stroll, dog walking, running and watching wildlife. Please consider supporting the work of the Friends of Aston’s Eyot by making a charitable donation. The maintenance and preservation of the reserve is reliant on donations and local volunteers. Your gift will be used for vital conservation work and help future generations enjoy the eyot.
