North Tamerton is a small, rural parish in north‑east Cornwall, England, perched above the wooded valley of the River Tamar where Cornwall meets Devon. The landscape is classic Cornish countryside of narrow lanes, hedgerows and scattered farmsteads, with far‑reaching views across the Tamar valley that make it popular for quiet country walks and wildlife watching.
Historically agricultural, the community still revolves around farming and a handful of historic houses and a parish church that mark its long settlement. The area retains a strong local identity and a close‑knit feel, while being within reach of market towns such as Launceston and the coastal resort of Bude, which provide shops, services and a draw for visitors.
