Bretforton is a small, largely agricultural village and civil parish in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, England, set in the fruit-rich landscape of the Vale of Evesham on the edge of the Cotswolds. The conservation-minded centre is notable for its honey‑coloured timbered cottages and lanes, a compact village green and the parish church of St Leonard's, all of which reflect a long rural history tied to orchards and market gardening.
Social and cultural life is lively for a village of its size, anchored by the famous 15th‑century Fleece Inn - now National Trust‑owned - regular community events, and agricultural shows and vintage gatherings that celebrate the area’s farming heritage. Local economy still leans on horticulture and tourism, with visitors attracted by traditional pubs, historic buildings and easy access to nearby Evesham and the Cotswolds countryside.
