Kentford is a small village and civil parish in the district of West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits in a low-lying river valley on the banks of the River Kennett, just a few miles east of the racing town of Newmarket, and retains a distinctly rural character with pockets of older stone and timber cottages and evidence of medieval settlement patterns.
Traditionally agricultural, the local economy now combines farming with ties to the surrounding equine industry and some commuter households drawn to nearby market towns and cities. The village community is small but active, with local amenities and green spaces that attract walkers and wildlife-watchers, while its historic lanes and riverside setting give Kentford a quietly enduring Suffolk charm.
