Lower Upnor Kent Map

About Lower Upnor

Lower Upnor commands a quiet presence on the Hoo Peninsula. It lies 3.0 km north of Chatham (from Chatham: bearing 6°T, OS grid TQ 760 710), and is situated north-east of Upper Upnor village. The estuary air, carrying the tang of salt and the distant hum of river traffic, lends a particular character to the very light that falls upon Lower Upnor's modest dwellings. Fields, often a rich, dark loam, stretch towards the water, their greenness a deep, settled hue under the vast Kentish sky. The village’s proximity to the River Medway, a historic artery of trade and defence, imbues its landscape with a subtle, enduring strength. Here, the past is not so much a grand edifice as a whisper in the wind rustling through the reeds along the riverbank.
