About

Hoo St Werburgh and High Halstow sit on the Hoo Peninsula in the Medway unitary authority. Hoo St Werburgh is the larger village, with a high street, primary school and community facilities clustered around its medieval parish church of St Werburgh. High Halstow is a smaller settlement on higher ground with St Margaret’s church at its centre. Surrounding land mixes farmland, orchard and grazing marsh, and lanes connect the two villages to industrial sites and facilities elsewhere on the peninsula.

To the east and north the landscape falls to reedbeds, saltmarsh and mudflats that form part of the North Kent Marshes. Northward Hill nature reserve lies within the parish and is noted for breeding nightingales in spring; its woodland and scrub meet open marsh and sea wall. A network of public footpaths and bridleways links fields, the reserve and village lanes, offering direct access to coastal habitats and to views over the estuary from High Halstow’s ridge.
