Allhallows is a village in Kent with a total population of about 2,000. It is situated at the end of the Hoo peninsula; the spur of land which lies between the estuaries of the Rivers Thames and Medway, and despite what the local and national media often states, we are not on the Isle of Grain. The Hoo peninsula includes the villages of Hoo St Werburgh, St Mary's Hoo, Chattenden, Stoke, Allhallows, High Halstow, Cooling, Cliffe and Cliffe Woods, with Higham and Wainsott to the western boundary of the area as well as much of the North Kent Marshes. Grain lies to the eastern end of the peninsula, no longer a true island as the separating waterway, Yantlet, silted over several hundred years ago.

By south-east England standards Allhallows is at the end of beyond, but in reality we only 25 miles, or half an hour on a good day, from Bluewater which is Europe's largest covered shopping precinct. The Hoo peninsula is an area of about 25 square miles and home to perhaps 10,000 people. It is also home to many thousands of birds and other wildlife, the RSPB has bird sanctuaries at Cliffe and High Halstow. Terry spends many hours walking with Mack across the marshy areas of the northern part of the peninsula.
