THE AREA
South Brent or Brent as it is known to the locals, stands where the river Avon leaves the bleak and dangerous southern Dartmoor heights and begins its journey through the tranquil South Hams. So it is a great starting point to explore the moor itself either by car or on foot and is within easy distance from the coast at Torbay or Bigbury on Sea and the shores of South Devon. It is one of Devon's first eco-friendly communities.

Brent is ideally placed for tourism. There are leisure centres in nearby Ivy Bridge and Totnes, Golf courses at Wrangaton and Bigbury, Horse riding at Chestone and Fishing Locally.

Brent is also close to Buckfast Abbey and the nearby South Devon Railway and Butterfly Farm. Totnes with its Tuesday Elizabethan market is 7miles away and Plymouth with the National Nature Aquarium and historic Barbican is only 17miles to the west. Torbay is 16 miles to the east.
