About

The Hoo Peninsula is a sparsely populated expanse of marshland and reclaimed salt marshes situated between the Thames and Medway estuaries. Its landscape is dominated by wide, flat skies, drainage channels, and expansive grazing pastures. The area's isolation has historically supported significant industrial infrastructure, including large power stations and former military installations, which contrast sharply with the surrounding natural environment.

A network of sea walls and footpaths, like the Saxon Shore Way, traverses the peninsula, offering views across the mudflats that are important for wading birds. The RSPB Cliffe Pools reserve, created from old clay pits, is a key habitat for avocets and other wildlife. The villages, such as Cliffe and Hoo St Werburgh, are small and linear, often following the higher, drier ground of the peninsula's spine.
