Welcome to Bretby

Bretby is a small village located in South Derbyshire, England. It is situated on the River Trent and is known for its beautiful countryside and historic landmarks. The village is home to the Bretby Art Pottery, which was established in 1882 and produced high-quality ceramics until its closure in 1933. The pottery is now a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public for tours and exhibitions.

One of the most notable landmarks in Bretby is the Bretby Hall, a Grade II listed building that was built in the 17th century. The hall was originally owned by the Earls of Chesterfield and was later used as a school and a hospital during World War II. Today, the hall is a private residence and is not open to the public. However, visitors can still admire the beautiful architecture and gardens from the outside.

Bretby is also home to the Bretby Arboretum, a 35-acre site that was established in 1907. The arboretum is home to over 3,000 trees and shrubs from around the world and is a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers. The arboretum also features a visitor center, a café, and a gift shop, making it a great place to spend a day with family and friends.
