The River Kennett rises south of Dalham in Suffolk, and flows northward past Moulton and Kennett, and joins Lee Brook, a tributary of the River Lark, just south of Freckenham.[1] The river is generally dry in the summertime.
At Moulton the river passes under a Grade-II*-listed 15th-century packhorse bridge. This bridge has four arches, indicating that the river was larger when the bridge was constructed.[2]
