It merges with the River Nore to the east of Stoneyford. The King’s River is used regularly for fishing.
Stoneyford has a number of protected structures of historic, architectural and artistic importance including the early 19th century Catholic Church, the old two-storey school house and the pub-front of “O’Grady’s" premises has marbilised lettering on its shopfront design, which in particular is considered worthy of preservation.
