Kelly is a tiny rural parish in West Devon, Devon, England, tucked into rolling farmland and hedgerow‑lined lanes that characterise this part of the county. The settlement is scattered rather than nucleated, with stone cottages, small holdings and a network of public footpaths that give pleasant views across the surrounding countryside.
Historically the community has centred on a modest medieval church and the site of a former manor, and agriculture has long been the economic mainstay; in recent years there has been some diversification into rural tourism and commuting to nearby towns. Socially it retains a close‑knit village feel with a handful of listed buildings and local events that underline its strong sense of local history and community.
