Breinton is a civil parish in Herefordshire, England. Breinton lies just to the west of Hereford. The name Breinton appears to be a modernised form of the word Bruntone, meaning a village near a flowing stream.Breinton is a collection of hamlets two miles to the west of Hereford: Warham, Upper Breinton, Lower Breinton, Breinton Common, and Veldifer; with a church (St. Michael’s) and a Village Hall. Relatively few new buildings have been built on valuable land since those shown on the 1839 tithe map. The parish boundary is irregular but generally encloses the land between the River Wye and the A438 that runs between Hereford and Brecon. Half the population of Breinton (726 adults in the 2011 Census) live on or close to Kings Acre Road (A438).
