About

South Brent and Cornwood sit within the Dartmoor National Park fringe, characterised by steep, wooded river valleys and open moorland. The area is defined by the fast-flowing River Avon and its tributaries, which have carved dramatic gorges through the landscape. Settlements are small, often centred around historic churches and traditional stone bridges, with agriculture and forestry remaining key land uses.

A network of narrow lanes connects scattered farms and hamlets, leading up onto the high moor. Here, the landscape opens out to reveal ancient archaeological features, including stone rows and burial mounds on Brent Hill. The historic Brent Mill, a former wool-processing site powered by the Avon, reflects the area's industrial past tied directly to its watercourses and sheep-grazing commons.
