"Southcliffe" Uplees Marshes Faversham.
I am now joint organiser for a Kentish walking group of some 250 members. I have been asked to organise a walk of about 5 miles. I like to include some background and interest in the walk so after deliberation I decided to do a "Southcliffe Route" Many films and TV series have included Faversham's wonderful settings, town centre and landscaped of the North Kent Marshes that played such a large part in the feel of this well critically acclaimed drama.
Southcliffe is a British drama series that aired on Channel 4. Set in a fictional town on the North Kent Marshes tells the story of a series of shootings by a local man portrayed by Sean Harris, the cause of the shootings and the effects on the town and residents. The series explores tragedy, grief, responsibility and redemption as seen through the eyes of a journalist returning to the small town of his childhood to cover the story (Rory Kinnear)
Filming began in October 2012 in Faversham, on an eight-week shooting schedule and took place at various locations in and around Faversham, including local homes, town centre streets, the Faversham Creek, Hollowshore pub, The Shipwright's Arms, Faversham Recreation Ground, The Market Inn, Oare Marshes, Uplees Cottage.
The critical response to the first two episodes was mostly positive. Benji Wilson of The Daily Telegraph thought that with "its muted palette, protracted silences, dank fogs and seething unease, Southcliffe was anything but nice-cup-of-tea and a sit-down TV, but it was a mesmerising tragedy, Arifa Akbar of The Independent noted "its disturbing silences" and called it "a rare and brilliant Sunday-night viewing", while Paul Whitelaw of The Scotsman considered Southcliffe to be "a major work, and quite easily the best British TV drama of the year so far." The sentiment was shared by Euan Ferguson of The Observer, who called it "the TV event of the year." Sam Wollaston of The Guardian thought that the drama series was a masterly study of a tragedy in smalltown England, one that "felt – and looked, and sounded – so utterly and terribly real", and that it was a "profound, chilling, moving piece of television".
