Welcome to Kenn

Kenn is a small rural parish on a lowland moor in North Somerset. It has a pub and a church, but no post office or shops. There are close to 350 villagers living in about 130 houses on Kenn Street, Duck Lane and a cluster on Kenn Road.

There are scattered farmhouses and cottages on Davis Lane, Nailsea Wall and Kenn Moor Road.

Agriculture (mostly livestock) was the main industry in the village until relatively recently, now there are 2 business parks (with a third proposed), a holiday village, a football stadium, a police training centre, auction rooms and a garage with a car sales business.
