About Kennet

Kennet is a tiny village in the south of Clackmannanshire, close to Clackmannan on the flat carseland above the River Forth — one of the smallest settlements in the county.

Like many villages in the area, Kennet grew up around the coal mining industry, but the pits have long since closed, leaving a quiet residential hamlet surrounded by farmland.

The village is within easy reach of both Clackmannan and Alloa for shops, schools, and services, with open views across the Forth valley toward Fife.

About Clackmannanshire

Clackmannanshire is the smallest council area in Scotland by land area, tucked between the Ochil Hills to the north and the River Forth to the south, with Stirling to the west and Fife across the water to the east.

Alloa is the county town and largest settlement, a former brewing centre on the north bank of the Forth, while a chain of hillfoot towns and villages — Tillicoultry, Alva, Menstrie, and Dollar — runs along the base of the Ochils to the north.

The county has a rich industrial heritage: textiles in the hillfoot towns, brewing in Alloa, and coal mining across the lowland parishes shaped the area through the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.

Despite its small size, Clackmannanshire packs in considerable variety — from the dramatic gorges and hill walks of the Ochils to the flat carseland of the Forth, from medieval tower houses to Victorian mill architecture.

The area is well connected, with the A91 running along the hillfoot corridor and rail services from Alloa to Stirling and onward to Glasgow, making it a practical base for commuters working across the central belt.
