Hedsor Water was once the main course of the Thames but was by-passed for navigation by the construction of Cookham Lock in 1830. Navigation is only possible for the first 100 metres from the downstream end where a few temporary moorings are available.

Sashes Island is an island in the River Thames in England at Cookham Lock near Cookham, Berkshire. It is now open farmland, but has Roman and Anglo-Saxon connections. The island is located between Hedsor Water and the present navigation channel leading to Cookham Lock.
