*************

Brent Hill is the site of an Iron Age hill fort situated close to South Brent in Devon, England. The fort occupies the top of Brent Hill at approx 311 Metres above Sea Level.

South Brent is a large village on the southern edge of Dartmoor, England, in the valley of the River Avon, population 2998 (2000), 8km (five miles) north-east of Ivybridge, and next to the Devon Expressway which connects Exeter 51km (32 miles) to the north-east and Plymouth 29km (18 miles) to the west.

was originally a woollen and market centre with two annual fairs. Now the village centre is within the boundaries of Dartmoor National Park, and it is a thriving community with shops, public houses, businesses, school, village hall and community centre.

A railway station serving the village was opened on the South Devon Railway on 15 June 1848. It served as the junction for the branch line to Kingsbridge from 19 December 1893. The station closed in 1964, though for some years there has been a movement to reopen it in order to reduce commuter traffic on the roads. Benders United is the the local football team established in 1931.
