About

Settington sits on the northern edge of the Medway Towns, characterised by its mix of post-war housing estates and older residential streets. The area is largely residential, with local shopping parades serving the community's daily needs. A significant portion of its western boundary is defined by the Southern Valley Golf Course, providing a large green corridor.

A network of footpaths, including part of the Medway Valley Walk, connects the neighbourhood to these open spaces and the riverbank, offering routes for walking and cycling away from the main roads.
