Brailsford is a compact rural parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, set on gentle limestone countryside a short drive west of Derby and to the east of Ashbourne. The landscape is typical of the Dales fringe, with rolling arable fields, hedgerows and small woods giving way towards the higher moorland of the Peak District, and the settlement pattern includes the village core together with surrounding hamlets and farmsteads.
Historically recorded in the Domesday Book, Brailsford retains a mix of heritage and modern life: a medieval parish church (St Michael and All Angels), listed houses and agricultural buildings sit alongside more recent commuter homes. Local life is focused on farming, small local enterprises and community activities such as school, village events and pub-based socialising, giving the parish a strong village identity while remaining within easy reach of larger towns and services.
