Prior's Bridge and the River Kensey

The River Kensey is a river in eastern Cornwall, which cuts the steep valley below Launceston before joining the River Tamar.

The river rises at Kensey in the parish of Treneglos and flows generally east to the south of Tresmeer and Egloskerry. Reaching Launceston, it divides the town between Launceston proper to the south, where the hill rises on which Launceston and its castle stand, and its northern suburb, Newport, and the parishes of St Stephen's and Lanstephan.

About a mile east of Launceston, the Kensey enters the River Tamar.
