Notter and Notter Bridge are adjoining hamlets in southeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. They are situated in the civil parish of St Stephens-by-Saltash approximately three miles (5 km) northwest of Saltash. The A38 trunk road crosses the River Lynher at Notter Bridge.[1]

History

Stoketon House was built in about 1770, and was the seat of Admiral De Courcy.[2] By the 1860s it was in the possession of the Edwards family.[3]

Stoketon Cross along the A38 road has been the scene of numerous automobile accidents. In November 2017 a collision between two cars and a motorcycle occurred here.[4] In 2014 it was announced that £4.5m in private sector funding had been raised for an improvement at the junction.[5]

Landmarks

The public houses in the area are the Notter Bridge Riverside Inn and The Crooked Inn.[6] A local cider maker, Kerensa Aval, which means "Apple friendship” in Cornish, is situated at Broadwater Farm.[7] Crylla Valley Cottages and Notter Bridge Caravan Park cater for tourists.[8][9]
