Brentor is a small rural parish in West Devon, Devon, England, set on the western fringe of Dartmoor. It is best known for the dramatic granite tor topped by the tiny medieval church of St Michael de Rupe, whose silhouette can be seen for miles across the moor and has long been a landmark for walkers and photographers.
The community is quiet and largely agricultural, with sheep farming and smallholdings alongside a modest trickle of tourism - walkers, birdwatchers and people seeking the moorland atmosphere. Local life combines conservation of the historic landscape with village events and a handful of pubs and cottages that give the place a strong sense of continuity and local identity.
