For too long, the Isle of Sheppey has remained an undiscovered gem, often overlooked in favour of better-known coastal destinations. Yet, for those who venture beyond the causeway, Sheppey reveals stunning landscapes, rich history, and a thriving local scene—all waiting to be explored.

Until now, however, there has been no official guide to help visitors and residents truly experience all the island has to offer. That’s about to change.

Why Does the Isle of Sheppey Need a Tour Guide?

Despite being home to historic towns, breathtaking nature reserves, sandy beaches, and fantastic local eateries, Sheppey lacks a comprehensive, go-to guide for visitors and locals alike.

No single resource for tourists – Whether you're visiting for a weekend or just passing through, there’s been no easy way to discover the best attractions, hidden gems, and must-visit spots—until now.

Packed with things to see and do – From the windswept beauty of Shellness Beach to the lively seaside town of Leysdown-on-Sea, from historic Bluetown to the serene countryside of Harty, the island is diverse, full of character, and rich in experiences.

Supporting local businesses – Sheppey boasts fantastic places to eat, drink, and stay, but without a central guide, many visitors leave without ever finding them. This guide shines a light on the best independent businesses, helping them thrive.

A forgotten history – Discover Sheppey's pivotal role in naval history, aviation, and even royal connections. This guide brings these stories to life, making the past accessible and engaging.

Perfect for residents, too – Even if you’ve lived here for years, there’s always something new to discover. The guide helps uncover hidden treasures to enjoy Sheppey like never before.
