Twydall is an area of Gillingham in Medway, in the ceremonial county of Kent, England. It is near junction 4 of the M2 motorway. The origin of the name Twydall is thought to mean “Two Parts” or “Double Portion” from the Old English twidǣl, but by 1240 it was written Twydele. Two Palmerston forts were built in the area, Grange Redoubt and Woodlands Redoubt: the design used came to be known as the Twydall Profile. Modern Twydall, is situated between the A2 and the railway line, but previously it stretched down to the Medway estuary to Sharp's Green and Eastcourt Meadows which are now part of the Riverside Country Park and crossed by the Saxon Shore Way. Many of the road names in Twydall are names after villages within Kent.
