Kennoway is a village and parish in Fife, Scotland, set a few miles inland from the east coast in the Levenmouth area near the River Leven. The settlement sits on rolling agricultural land and combines older stone cottages and Victorian terraces with more modern housing, giving it a distinctly local, small-town character while being within easy reach of coastal towns.
Historically Kennoway grew from farming into a community shaped by weaving and the nearby coal workings of the 18th and 19th centuries, and its parish church has long local roots. Today it is largely residential, with local shops, a primary school and active community groups, and many residents commute to nearby centres such as Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes for work and services.
