About

Cliffe sits on the Hoo Peninsula, bordered by the Thames and Medway estuaries. The landscape is largely marshland, with expansive skies and open fields. The village centre clusters around St. Helen's Church, with residential streets leading toward the riverfront. Industrial history is evident in the remains of the cement works and the large, now disused, chalk quarries that mark the area.

A network of footpaths crosses the marshes, leading to the river wall with views across the water to Essex. The area is known for its significant mudflats and salt marshes, which are important for birdlife. The isolated Cliffe Fort, a 19th-century circular artillery installation, sits on the shoreline, accessible via the coastal path.
