Bennettsbridge (Droichead Bineád in Irish) is a village in County Kilkenny, 6km south of Kilkenny city in the southeast of Ireland. Located along the River Nore, the village has become, in recent years, the home of several pottery and crafts producers. It is located at a ford of the river, where a bridge, mill and weir have been constructed. The current bridge dates from the 18th century, however there has been a bridge at the site since the 13th century.
