CourseEdit
Rising right on the Northamptonshire-Bedfordshire border at the west of the parish of Newton Bromswold, it flows north-east to cross into Bedfordshire at Yelden and then into Cambridgeshire at Tilbrook. Turning south east, it divides the town of Kimbolton in two and runs past Kimbolton Castle to Stonely. It next flows past the parish church of St Andrew to the west of Great Staughton, encircling the village to the south. It flows into the Great Ouse just to the north of St Neots, where it forms the parish boundary between St Neots and Little Paxton.
HistoryEdit
The name of the river seems to be a back-formation from the town of Kimbolton, whose name means "farmstead of a man called Cynebald", so it is clear that the town is not named after the river.
