Ventiford Brook is a stream located in Devon, England.

It was used as one of the water courses that filled the Stover Canal, when it was in use, along with the River Teign and River Bovey. There are plans to restore the canal, in which case the Ventiford Brook would probably need to be the main source of water for the canal.[1]

The brook was also used as the basis for filling Stover Lake,[2] which is located in the Stover Country Park near Bovey Tracey.[3]

It has a tributary known as the Liverton Brook that rises near the hamlet of Trumpeter and heads south-east through Middlecott Wood just north of Ilsington village and goes under a bridge at Liverton. It heads under the A38 road and through Trago Mills, Stover golf course and under the A382 road to join Ventiford Brook in Stover Country Park.
