Kennford is a small village in the district of Teignbridge, Devon, England, sitting just off the A38 a few miles south of Exeter on the lower slopes of the Haldon Hills. Its location close to the Haldon Forest Park and the valley of the River Kenn gives it a mix of sheltered countryside and easy road access to larger towns, so it often feels like a rural gateway between moorland and the city.
Historically the settlement has agricultural roots - its name implies a ford across the local river - but today it is a small, mixed community with commuters to Exeter, a few local amenities and modest roadside services that pick up trade from travellers along the A38. Outdoor recreation, walking and cycling in the nearby woods and hills are important to village life, while the quiet, village-scale social scene centres on the local inn, village hall and community groups.
