The lovely community of South Brent may be found in England, on the southern edge of Dartmoor. Because of the rich history of this community, which dates back to the Bronze Age, numerous hut circles, enclosures, and barrows may be found on the high moorlands. Additionally, there is a high incline on Brent incline where there are the remains of an old building and a windmill that was allegedly built in 1790. The village has a number of stores and bars in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park's limits. Three miles from the village are Pennywell Farm, three miles from Wrangaton Golf Club, six miles from Totnes Castle, and ten miles from Dainton Park Golf Club.
