Dunton is a small rural civil parish in the district of North Norfolk in Norfolk, England. Set amid gently rolling arable fields and hedgerows, it typifies the quiet farming landscape of the area and is characterised by a handful of dwellings, farmsteads and lanes rather than a concentrated village centre.
The community is small and closely knit, with local life largely revolving around agriculture, country pursuits and occasional parish events; the built environment shows traditional Norfolk features such as flint and red-brick farm buildings. Modest in size but with roots stretching back through the county’s rural history, it appeals to walkers and anyone looking for a tranquil slice of the Norfolk countryside.
