Across the water from Hoo Fort is Horrid Hill, the mooring for some of the grimmest prison hulks during the Napoleonic wars. In David Lean’s film, Magwitch’s attempted escape from this “wicked Noah’s ark” was filmed on Hoo’s smallest island, Bishop Ness, barely more than a patch of mud in the river, just past what is now the jetty for Kingsnorth. Westwards from here, the shore curves around a vast mudflat and salt marsh before ending up at West Hoo Creek. At high tide you can see a gaggle of derelict boats partly submerged in the water, but at low tide – some 5m lower – the creek turns into a slithery expanse of gloop, running with veins of draining rivulets, leaving the boats splayed in the mud.
