Shorne village is clustered around two locations.
Upper Shorne is about 3 miles east of Gravesend, south of the A226 with Lower Shorne north of the A226 extending toward the Thames Estuary and Shorne Marshes.

Although most of the village occupies a shallow valley the perimeter of upper Shorne lies on some of the highest ground in the vicinity giving magnificent views of the Thames Estuary from Gravesend to Southend.
There are several areas of woodland to the west and east of the village including Great Crabbles Wood and Starmore Woods to the east and Randall Wood, Shorne Wood and Brewers Wood to the west.
Most of the woodland to the west is part of the picturesque Shorne Wood Country Park.

Upper Shorne has its own junior school, Medical Practice, grocery store, hair dressers and beauty parlour positioned just opposite the village hall.
A vehicle repair shop and car saleroom is located at the Shorne crossroads on the A226.
There are three public houses – the Rose and Crown, the Copperfield and the See Ho.

Himansu Basu the noted Obstetrician Gynaecologist, researcher and active member of Rotary International lives in Shorne.

Cricketer George Bennett came from Shorne.

In 1975 the serial killer, Patrick Mackay, committed his final murder at St Katherine's.
