The Community Assembly of Avalon is located in the village of South Brent in the South Hams in Devon which is part of the Territory of Kernow in the British Isles. South Brent is a large village situated on the southern edge of Dartmoor in the valley of the River Avon. The parish includes the small hamlets of Aish, Harbourneford, Lutton, Brent Mill and many scattered farmhouses including the land named Avalon. Ivybridge is located in the north-east and Plymouth in the east-northeast.
On the high moorlands are many hut circles, enclosures and barrows, all dating back to the Bronze Age. The manor of Brent belonged to Buckfast Abbey from the time of the foundation of the abbey in the early 11th century. It was bought at the Dissolution by Sir William Petre, a large receiver of monastic spoils in South Devon.
South Brent was originally a woollen and market centre with two annual fairs. Brent Hill is the steep hill just outside the village from which it takes its name (Old English brant – steep). Here you will find the ruins of an ancient building, thought to have been a chapel, together with a windmill built about 1790.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
