Buckland-Tout-Saints is a village in the south of Devon. It is a little place: the 2001 census recorded a population of just 178, though this was an increase from a population of only 37 in 1901.[1]

The parish is surrounded clockwise from the north by the parishes of Woodleigh, East Allington, Frogmore and Sherford, Kingsbridge, Churchstow, and a short boundary with Loddiswell.[2]

Buckland-Tout-Saints Hotel

The name of the village is not from the dedication of its church as one might expect: the church is St Peter's. Instead it derives from the Toutsaints family who held the manor here in the 13th century.[1]
