Kentisbeare is a small rural village in Mid Devon, Devon, England, set among the rolling farmland and hedgerows typical of the Culm Valley countryside. The settlement has a historic feel, with an old parish church and clusters of traditional stone and thatched cottages, while the surrounding landscape supports mixed farming and orchards that reflect the county’s long agricultural heritage.
Locally the village retains an active community life with a village hall, occasional fetes and club activities, and links into nearby market towns such as Cullompton and Tiverton, with larger centres like Exeter and Taunton within easy reach. Its quiet lanes and proximity to rivers and walking country make it typical of small Devon settlements where history, countryside and a close-knit social fabric meet.
