Brent Knoll
Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRE : Brent Knoll
Brent Knoll is a small hill in the county of Somerset in the United Kingdom. At a height of 137 metres it is a distinctive feature of the landscape as it lies in an otherwise flat area practically at sea level.
Brent Knoll has seen human settlement since at least the Bronze Age.
The village of Brent Knoll lies at the south west base of the hill. Between 1875 and 1883 the village name was changed from South Brent to Brent Knoll to avoid rail passenger confusion with the village of South Brent in Devon.
