About

Queenborough sits on the Isle of Sheppey, where the Swale channel meets the Medway estuary. The area is defined by its working waterfront and maritime history, centred on a small harbour. The street plan follows the original, circular layout of the old fortified town. Low-lying marshes and industrial estates characterise much of the immediate surroundings, with views across the water to the Kent mainland.

The town's history is tied to the now-closed ironworks, and its present includes a busy marina and boatyards. A network of sea walls and footpaths allows for walks along the muddy creeks and saltings. The local sailing club is a focal point, and the restored clock tower of the former town hall overlooks the central crossroads. The surrounding Swale is a designated site for wildlife, particularly wading birds.
