Borough of Swale

Tucked between the tidal Swale channel and the North Kent Downs, Swale is a place whose character is shaped by salt marsh, mudflats and the fruit-growing farmland of north Kent. The borough includes the Isle of Sheppey, separated from the mainland by the Swale, as well as the towns of Sittingbourne and Faversham. Faversham has long been a market town and is home to Shepherd Neame, a brewery founded in 1698 that describes itself as Britain’s oldest brewer. Along the coast, the Swale National Nature Reserve protects extensive intertidal habitats used by waterbirds. Working towns, orchards and tidal shoreline give this part of Kent a distinctly maritime rhythm. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Swale and north Kent.
