Kilmington is a small village and civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, lying on the edge of the Axe Valley close to the border with Dorset. It sits a few miles from Axminster and is within easy reach of Seaton and the coastal resorts around Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast, so it feels rural while being well placed for seaside and countryside visitors.
The village has a traditionally agricultural character with farms, orchards and small local businesses alongside a historic parish church and several older buildings; a modest community life centres on the village hall and parish events. Tourism and outdoor recreation - walking in the Axe Valley and visiting the nearby coast - provide an important economic boost, and many residents commute to nearby towns for work while enjoying the quiet village atmosphere.
