About

Higham & Shorne ward lies on the western edge of Gravesham, bordering the Thames estuary to the north. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of older village cores and more recent housing developments. The landscape is characterised by the North Kent Marshes, a low-lying expanse of grazing land and creeks that provides a distinct, open setting. This environment supports various wildlife and influences the area's quieter, semi-rural character away from the main urban centres.

The ward contains the separate villages of Higham and Shorne, each with their own historic parish churches and local facilities. Higham has a direct railway link to London, contributing to its commuter profile. A notable local feature is the Shorne and Ashenbank Woods, a large area of ancient woodland managed by the Woodland Trust. The villages maintain active community groups and sports clubs, with the surrounding countryside offering public footpaths for walking.
