Kingskerswell is a village and civil parish in Teignbridge, Devon, England, set on the lower slopes of the Haldon Hills above the valley of the River Lemon. Historically an agricultural settlement with medieval roots and a traditional parish church, it sits close to Newton Abbot and the resorts of Torbay, giving it a mix of rural character and easy access to larger towns.
Today the village combines older cottages and newer housing, local shops, pubs, a primary school and a village hall, and a mix of small businesses alongside many residents who commute to nearby centres; an active community life - with clubs and occasional fetes - helps preserve its long-established local identity.
