Breaston is a compact village and civil parish in the Borough of Erewash, in Derbyshire, England. It sits on the outer edge of the East Midlands urban area, roughly between Derby and Nottingham, with quick road links via the M1 and the A52, making it a popular spot for commuters while still retaining a village feel.
The settlement has a discernible historic core with older stone buildings and a parish church, alongside mid- and late-20th-century housing; its roots were agricultural but the character today mixes residential life with local amenities, pubs, community groups and green spaces. Local events and clubs give it a lively social life, and its position near bigger towns means residents benefit from both countryside character and easy access to urban services and employment.
