Perched on the edge of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire border, Breedon on the Hill is defined by the dramatic limestone crag that rises sharply above the village. At the summit sits the Priory Church of St Mary and St Hardulph, home to a collection of protected Saxon carvings that are among the finest in the country. Life in the village is centred around the green and the local primary school, with the sprawl of the Breedon Northern quarry serving as a constant reminder of the area’s industrial heritage. It is a practical spot for getting around; the A42 is minutes away and the airport is close by, yet the village maintains a quiet, self-contained character. Most days you’ll find locals out on the network of footpaths that link the village to the surrounding farmland, or stopping in at the craft centre located at the foot of the hill. It’s a place where the landscape feels ancient, but the daily routine is very much grounded in the convenience of its location between Derby and Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
