Ugborough beacon from Brent Hill

Taken in January 1945 of a snowy scene from Brent Hill looking in a south westerly direction across the intervening lower farmland near South Brent. In the distance is the start of the southern edge of Dartmoor at Ugborough Moor and Ugborough Beacon. Brent Hill stands at 311m as an outcrop of igneous rock, a bold outline raising sharply above the farmland that surrounds it. It is a visible landmark with an earthwork on the top. Brent means 'steep, lofty, prominent'. Ugborough Beacon has 3 distinct rock piles on its summit.
