Welcome to Kennet

Kennet is a small village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Kennet, which flows through the village and provides a picturesque setting for visitors. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Mary's Church, which is a Grade I listed building. The church is a popular attraction for visitors to the village, and its impressive architecture and beautiful stained glass windows are a testament to the village's rich history.

In addition to its historic buildings, Kennet is also home to a number of local businesses and amenities. The village has a post office, a village hall, and a pub, which serves traditional English food and drink. The pub is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike, and its friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff make it a great place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the village and its surroundings.

One of the main attractions of Kennet is its location in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields, which provide a stunning backdrop for walks and hikes. The River Kennet is also a popular spot for fishing, and visitors can often be seen casting their lines into the water in search of trout and other fish. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an active holiday, Kennet is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the beauty of the English countryside.

Private Land No Footpath! But The Owner Allows Dog Walkers After 12.30Pm Prohibited ?? Before As Racehorses Are Excercised. Beautiful Countryside Open Fields Cut Grass A Dogs Paradise Really. Plenty Of Parking In A Lay-By Just Along Side, You Can Cross The Race Track But Do Not Walk On It! This Land Is Amazing &Amp; We’Re Very Lucky To Be Allowed On There However Some Are Ruining It By Not Cleaning Up After There Dog And It’S A Hazard For The Horses.
