Lamerton is a small, rural village and civil parish in West Devon, Devon, England, set among hedged farmland and rolling lanes on the northern fringes of Dartmoor. It sits a short distance from the market town of Tavistock and within reach of Plymouth, so the landscape combines working agricultural land, river valleys and attractive walking country popular with locals and visitors alike.
Locally the economy remains centred on mixed farming and small businesses, with a strong village community that gathers around events in the hall and at the parish church; a number of listed houses and old farmsteads reflect the area's medieval and post‑medieval history. Lamerton’s quiet lanes, stone cottages and proximity to open moorland give it a character typical of rural Devon, appealing to both long‑standing families and people seeking a quieter life within commuting distance of larger towns.
