About

Sheppey East covers the eastern portion of the Isle of Sheppey, characterised by flat marshland and agricultural fields. The area includes the villages of Leysdown-on-Sea and Warden, which face the Thames Estuary. The landscape is dominated by open skies and a network of drainage channels, with much of the land used for crop cultivation or grazing. The coastline here consists largely of salt marshes and mudflats, important for birdlife.

The area is known for the Shellness coastal strip, a shingle spit that extends into the estuary. This remote habitat is a designated nature reserve, attracting birdwatchers and walkers. Economic activity is centred on farming and some small-scale tourism linked to the beach at Leysdown. The overall atmosphere is one of rural isolation, with a sense of exposure to the coastal elements.
