Looking over the Avon Valley to Ugborough Beacon (in SX6659).

On the B3372 in the village of South Brent.

As it flows through South Brent,close to Brent Mill Bridge.

This modest cottage was once a toll house, and stands next to the bridge over the River Avon just off the old A38. Originally this was where the pre 1820 road from Wrangaton and Plymouth came into the village, and it marks the western end of the Ashburton and Totnes Turnpike Trust's responsibilities, the eastern end being in Chudleigh some 20 miles to the east.

In the yard of the Toll House at Brent Mill Image, right next to the bridge Image is the remains of a privy that has partly collapsed into the river that it originally used to discharge into. The river is eroding the bank below the privy, which obviously is no longer used!

On the left is modern housing arranged at right angles to Sanderspool Cross, at the far left. Confusingly, Sanderspool Cross is also the name of the roundabout (see Image) further up the B3372, which is on the extreme right. On the right, a significant bus stop - it's the London Inn, timed calling point for the X80 and X38 services from Plymouth to Exeter and Torquay respectively. Except that it's about 100 metres up the hill from the London Inn, which is in a different square (see Image, which shows it). For a somewhat superior bus shelter nearby, see Image However, I was grateful for this one, as my bus was almost half an hour late.

This shot shows the minor road that passes over Brent Mill Bridge, to its junction with the B3372 (Exeter road),which runs through South Brent.
