The '''River Chet''' is a small [[river]] in [[South Norfolk]], England, a [[tributary]] of the [[River Yare]]. It rises in [[Poringland]] and flows eastwards through [[Alpington]], [[Bergh Apton]], [[Thurton]] and [[Loddon, Norfolk|Loddon]]. At Loddon it passes under the [[A146 road|A146]] through Loddon Mill and into Loddon Staithe. From this point onwards the river is navigable. It then passes [[Hardley Flood]] to the north, a nature reserve part-managed by the [[Norfolk Wildlife Trust]]. The river finally joins the River Yare one mile west of [[Reedham, Norfolk|Reedham]] at Hardley Cross, erected in 1676,<ref>[http://www.the-plunketts.freeserve.co.uk/boundarycrosses.htm Norwich Boundary Crosses<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061013013237/http://www.the-plunketts.freeserve.co.uk/boundarycrosses.htm |date=13 October 2006 }}</ref> which marks the ancient boundary between the City of [[Norwich]] and the Borough of [[Great Yarmouth]]. The total navigable length is some 3½ miles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.loddon.org.uk/RiverChet.htm|title=River Chet<!-- Bot generated title -->|website=Loddon.org.uk|accessdate=10 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927224126/http://www.loddon.org.uk/RiverChet.htm|archive-date=27 September 2007|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

==Fishing==
[[Fishing]] is permitted between Loddon and Hardley Cross, [[bream]] and [[Common Roach|roach]] being the most common catch.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.waterscape.com/River_Chet/angling/wid126;mine636171;maxe640164;minn299014;maxn301188 |title=River Chet: Waterscape.com |website=www.waterscape.com |access-date=13 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927235734/http://www.waterscape.com/River_Chet/angling/wid126;mine636171;maxe640164;minn299014;maxn301188 |archive-date=27 September 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Churches==
A number of churches along the river are known as the "Chet Valley Churches". Most belong to the [[Church of England]] but they include the Church in Loddon, a combined Anglican and [[Methodism|Methodist]] congregation.<ref>[https://www.chetvalleychurches.org/ Chet Valley Churches], accessed 10 January 2023</ref>
