Brixton is situated about 15 minutes from the city of Plymouth (51⁄2 miles), but is very much a country village surrounded by the rolling hills of the South Hams countryside. A thriving village, there is a strong sense of community here with many community groups, an 'Outstanding' village school, and church. The Foxhound pub will give you a warm welcome with a wide range of real ales and home cooked food, much of which is supplied by local producers. The fish and chip shop is well regarded with regular customers who travel from Brixton and the surrounding villages. A post office counter is available in the mornings and Otter garden centre at the edge of village sells more than just plants and lifestyle products, with a large café for coffee, cake or lunch.
Local beaches include Wembury (National Trust) and Mothecombe, both accessible in under 15 minutes, and Dartmoor National Park is within a 20 minute drive. Residents of Brixton can apply for moorings in the Yealm Harbour Authority. The village has a wonderful network of footpaths down to the estuary and across the local fields. The nearby town of Plymstock has a range of independent shops and supermarkets such as Lidl and Morrisons. The city of Plymouth offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, cinemas and theatres plus a mainline train station and continental ferry port.
