Kenton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Teignbridge in south‑west Devon, England. It sits on the western side of the Exe Estuary close to the mouth of the River Exe, with salt marshes and mudflats that make it attractive to birdwatchers and walkers seeking quieter coastal countryside.
Historically a rural settlement with medieval roots, the village still shows traditional stone cottages and a parish church at its heart; the local economy blends farming, estuary‑related tourism and a number of commuters who work in Exeter or Newton Abbot. Community life is centred on the village hall and occasional local events, giving Kenton a relaxed, small‑scale character rather than a resort atmosphere.
