Kerry (Welsh: Ceri) is a village and geographically large community in Powys, Wales.
The village lies on the A489 road 2.8 miles (4.5 km) southeast of Newtown and possesses two pubs — the Herbert Arms and the Kerry Lamb — a village hall, a bowling green, a post office, a primary school and a hairdresser (formerly the Kerry Vale Butcher's shop).
Kerry also has a parish church of Norman origins dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels, as well as a baptist church.
The village has a population of about 800. It is the home of Phil Mills, WRC rally driver and co-driver.
It gives its name to the Kerry Hill breed of sheep.
The large, rural Kerry community contains the villages of Kerry, Glanmule, Dolfor and Sarn. It is divided into three wards (Kerry, Dolfor and Sarn) and for Powys County Council the community is an electoral division/ward (called Kerry). It falls in the historic county of Montgomeryshire.
The Battle of Kerry was fought nearby in 1228 between Llywelyn Fawr and Hubert de Burgh.
