==Geography==
Breedon is notable for its Carboniferous limestone hill that rises above sea level in a generally low-lying landscape and affords distant views across several counties. A large portion of the hill has been cut away by an active quarry now operated by Breedon Aggregates.
On top of the hill is The Bulwarks Iron Age hill fort, within which is Breedon's historic Church of England parish church.
Breedon is from East Midlands Airport and from the junction of the A42 road and M1 motorway. The village is from the River Trent, and from Donington Park motor circuit.
