Brandon and Bretford is a small civil parish in the borough of Rugby, in rural Warwickshire, England. It combines the compact village of Brandon with the much smaller hamlet of Bretford, set amid farmland and hedgerows; the locality still feels distinctly rural despite being within easy reach of larger towns.
Bretford is known locally for its position beside the River Avon and for the modest surviving features of an old river crossing, while the area generally has an agricultural heritage and a handful of historic buildings. Today many residents commute to nearby centres such as Rugby and Coventry, but the parish retains a quiet community character and occasional local events that reflect its village roots.
