About Brent Knoll

Brent Knoll, a prominent 137-metre-high hill in Somerset, is a significant landmark located between Weston-super-Mare and Bridgwater, just 2.5 miles from the Bristol Channel coast. The hill lends its name to the nearby village of Brent Knoll, which was formerly known as South Brent, and is accompanied by the village of East Brent at its base. Its striking elevation and isolated position enhance its visibility across the landscape, making it a notable feature for those considering planning applications in the surrounding area, especially given the proximity of major transport routes like the M5 motorway and the Bristol to Taunton railway line. The settlement has a population of approximately 1,253 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Sedgemoor district.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Brent Knoll area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (September 2026). This makes Brent Knoll a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
