The area brings together the coastal village of Starcross and the quieter, inland settlement of Kenton, both in the Teignbridge district of Devon, England. Starcross sits on the edge of the Exe Estuary and is known for its small railway station on the Riviera Line and a seasonal passenger ferry across to Exmouth, while Kenton occupies the surrounding agricultural countryside with a mix of traditional cottages and small farms.
Locally the character is a blend of maritime and rural life: the estuary is important for birdlife and popular with walkers, sailors and day-trippers, and the local economy rests on farming, coastal tourism and commuters heading into Exeter. Community life tends to revolve around village halls, pubs and clubs, with a modest but proud historic and nautical heritage that gives the settlements a distinct Devonshire feel.
