Kentisbeare is a small village and civil parish in Mid Devon, Devon, England, set in the rolling farmland of the Culm Valley. The settlement sits by the River Culm and enjoys views across undulating fields towards the Blackdown Hills, giving it a distinctly rural, scenic character typical of this part of Devon.
Historically it has a long parish history with an old church and a scatter of traditional buildings, and today the local economy still leans on farming and small local enterprises while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Cullompton or Exeter. Community life is strong for a village of its size, centred on the village hall, church and local groups that host fairs and events reflecting Kentisbeare’s agricultural and social heritage.
