The village and civil parish of Kentisbury sits on the southern fringe of Exmoor in North Devon, Devon, in the west of England. It occupies gently rolling farmland and wooded combes, with a scattering of stone cottages and farmsteads, and benefits from easy access to moorland walking and the nearby market town of Barnstaple.
Historically the community has strong agricultural roots with buildings and field patterns that reflect medieval origins; a small historic parish church and several listed houses give the village a distinctly rural character. The local economy remains largely farming-led, supplemented by a modest hospitality sector and commuters, while village life centres on a community hall, pub and seasonal events such as summer fetes and produce shows.
