Halling is a compact riverside village in the unitary authority of Medway, in Kent, England, sitting on the south bank of the River Medway between Rochester and Snodland. Its setting gives pleasant riverside walks and views across to the Hoo Peninsula, and it is served by a local station on the Medway Valley Line, making commuting towards London and nearby towns straightforward.
Halling has an industrial heritage centred on chalk quarrying, lime‑burning and cement and brickworks that shaped its riverside character; remnants of those industries have been repurposed or softened by housing and community facilities. Today it feels like a close‑knit village with a village hall, pubs and local clubs, a mix of long‑standing families and commuters, and an attractive stretch of river where leisure boats and walkers pass through.
