The Desborough Cut, the entrance to which can be seen on the left, was opened in 1935 and saved a very twisty stretch of river, part of which is seen here. The cut created Desborough Island, which can be reached by one of two bridges. The photo was taken from the Thames Path, here on the south bank of the river.
