ICONIC Dartmoor - Landscape Photography at Brentor | A 5 Minute Photo Adventure
St Michael de Rupe
The church of St Michael de Rupe, commonly known as Brentor church, sits on the outer edge of Dartmoor. This 12th-century building sits on the peak of Brent Tor (334m) and thanks to the surrounding landscape being mostly flat, the view from the top is far-reaching. With big views, steeply sloping sides and an old church, it’s no wonder it’s one of Dartmoor’s most well-known locations.
It’s a location I have photographed many times before (with varying degrees of success) but I’ve always done so at sunset. I thought it was about time I tried to photograph this iconic location at dawn and with the possibility of some low-lying fog I decided to set one of my unnaturally early alarm calls and head off to see what I could capture.
So, join me on another 5 Minute Photo Adventure as I photograph Brentor on a cold spring morning.

Here are the photographs you saw in the video. Apologies for the banding in the sky but I believe this is due to the JPG compression and small file sizes I use on the blog.
