Bretton, Derbyshire is a hamlet in Derbyshire, England.[1] [2] Set on a ridge with a panoramic view, it has few inhabitants but boasts a pub called the Barrel Inn, and the Bretton youth hostel.
The hamlet lies above Bretton Clough, a narrow, steep-sided valley which Bretton Brook runs through.[3] The clough also contains the remnants of five deserted homesteads which once formed part of a small community in the area.[4]
