Breadsall village lies north of Derby city centre and has seen many changes in the last few decades. Breadsall is not quite the rural village it once was but with recent housing developments, it has become a great place to commute into the city.
The main points of interest are the church, the old hall and Breadsall Priory, which is about a mile away from the village. Breadsall Priory is a Jacobean house standing on the site of an Augustinian Priory, which was founded in the 13th century. Only an arch of the original building remains. The Priory is now a successful hotel with a countrywide reputation for its famous golf course. Breadsall has a thriving village school, built in 1837, a village store and a pub called the Windmill, situated in what is known as Breadsall Hill Top.
