Brixton is a small rural village in the South Hams district of Devon, England, set among rolling farmland, hedgerows and pockets of woodland typical of the area. It sits within easy reach of the coast and Plymouth, so while retaining a quiet, countryside character it is popular with commuters and visitors exploring the South Devon coast and nearby footpaths such as the South West Coast Path.
The village has traditional stone cottages and a handful of local amenities - a village hall, pub and community groups - and a history stretching back to medieval times, reflected in its layout and buildings. Economically it remains rooted in agriculture and small-scale local services, with a lively local social calendar of fetes and walking groups that underline the strong community feel of this part of the South Hams.
