Map of the UK

Kilmington is a rural parish in East Devon, in the county of Devon, England. Sitting a few miles from the market town of Axminster and within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast, it occupies rolling agricultural countryside popular with walkers and birdwatchers; the landscape is a mix of hedged fields, small woods and lanes with traditional stone buildings.

Historically agricultural, Kilmington retains a compact village core centred on its church and village hall, with several listed buildings reflecting centuries of local life. The community supports local clubs, a pub and an annual village fete, while many residents commute to nearby towns, so the parish combines farming roots with a modest tourism and commuter influence typical of small East Devon settlements.
