About

Brent ward encompasses a largely rural section of the Somerset Levels, characterised by flat, open landscapes shaped by drainage ditches and wetland habitats. The area includes the village of Brent Knoll, which sits at the foot of a prominent isolated hill of the same name. This hill, visible for miles, is a notable local landmark with an ancient hillfort at its summit. Agriculture, particularly grazing, is a dominant feature of the land use here.

The community is centred on the villages of East Brent and Brent Knoll, with the historic Church of St Mary in East Brent being a focal point. The ward's geography is defined by its position adjacent to the Bristol Channel, influencing its low-lying environment. The M5 motorway runs through the area, providing a major transport link. The local economy has traditional ties to farming and land management of the surrounding levels and moors.
