Dating from the 13th to 14th century, Brentor Church is tiny. As England's 4th smallest parish, the church is 37 feet (11 m) long, 15 feet (4.6 m) wide, with a tower just 40 feet (12.2 m) high. But what it lacks in size- it seats around 40 people-, it makes up for with the view. Brentor church is one of 2 churches in the parish, this one built on the summit of a tor which is surrounded by probably iron age earthworks. The first church on the site was built circa 1130 by Robert Giffard, Lord of the Manor of neighbouring Lamerton, The site of the church makes it a landmark for miles around, even visible from where you are staying, although almost 15 miles away. Services are still held regularly. So long as you can walk up the steep path you're always welcome

Brent Tor is one of the most impressive rock outcrops in Dartmoor. With St Michael’s Church at its top, it makes a distinctive and famous silhouette on the Dartmoor skyline. The tor is unusual as it is one of the few on Dartmoor not to be made of granite. In fact, it is formed from basaltic lava which flowed some 350 million years ago into a shallow sea that covered the area during the Lower Carboniferous and Devonian periods. As the lavas flowed out into the sea some solidified into globular masses known as pillow lavas. Others were broken up by explosive contact with the sea water. This lava formed a mound on the sea floor which was then eroded by sea currents with the resulting debris being washed down the slopes of the mound. Debris of this nature can still be seen loose on the southern slopes of the tor.

This is a lovely spot for a walk although it’s extremely steep so consider this before heading over. The church is stunning and quite astounding to see on top of the hill. Just be wary that some people have reported thefts from cars here so have this in the back of your mind. We have never had an problems here.

Brentor Church is on a steep rocky outcrop, and once at the top you are rewarded with fantastic views.
