Kenton Valley is a valley located in the locality of Gumeracha towards Lobethal, about 40 km east of Adelaide, South Australia. It is located in the Adelaide Hills Council local government area.
The area contains cherry and strawberry farms and a golf course. It is sparsely populated, and residents rely on nearby Gumeracha for educational and commercial services.
The town developed on a parcel of land taken up by the South Australian Company.[1] The first manager of the station was William Beavis Randell who named a home he built, Kenton Park, after his home town in Devon.[1]
