About

The Newington, Halstow & Upchurch area encompasses a cluster of villages on the southern edge of the North Kent Marshes, bordering the tidal River Medway. The landscape is characterised by flat, open farmland intersected by drainage ditches and ancient sea walls, with scattered settlements built on slightly higher ground. This is a working agricultural area, with fields of crops and orchards defining the views between the communities.

The villages retain distinct characters, from Upchurch's linear settlement along the main road to the more secluded hamlets. The area's history is tied to the river and marshland, evident in the network of footpaths along the sea defences. A specific local feature is the presence of numerous historic oyster fisheries along the creeks, an industry that has operated here for centuries.
