Isle of Grain (Old English Greon, meaning gravel) is a village and the easternmost point of the Hoo Peninsula within the district of Medway in Kent, south-east England.[2] No longer an island and now forming part of the peninsula, the area is almost all marshland and is a major habitat for diverse wetland birds.[3] The village constitutes a civil parish, which at the 2011 census had a population of 1,648,[1] a net decrease of 83 people in 10 years.
