Dunterton is a hamlet in the very west of Devon, on the B3362 half a mile (as the crow flies) from the River Tamar, which marks the border of Cornwall. There is no village centre but two small clusters of cottages, a quarry and a church, All Saints.,within the Parish of 'Milton Abbot with Dunterton'.
The Greystone Bridge which carries the B-road over the Tamar is a mile to the north-west.
History
The manor of Dunterton is mentioned in the Domesday Book, valued at two pounds and containing 18 households.[1][2] In 1872 it had a population of 181.[3]
