Kennerleigh is a small, quietly handsome parish in Mid Devon, Devon, England, set among rolling farmland, hedgerows and small wooded combes. The lanes are narrow and winding, giving way to patchwork fields and occasional streams; it feels quintessentially rural, attractive to walkers and anyone seeking a peaceful Devon backwater rather than bustle.
Historically the village has medieval roots and retains a compact core with a parish church and a couple of historic houses and farmsteads, reflecting centuries of agricultural life. Today the local economy is largely farming-based with some residents commuting to nearby towns, while the social life centres on occasional village events and the close-knit community that typifies small Devon parishes.
