Living here
Brestorp is a small built-up area (småort) in Mjölby municipality in Östergötland County, with about 74 inhabitants. Most live right next to a main road, with fields and forest close by. To a grocery shop and school it is by bicycle or car, to the railway station by car. There is a church a couple of minutes' walk away, and a swimming hall is just as close, but otherwise most things lie outside the place.
By car it takes a quarter of an hour to Mjölby and three hours to Stockholm and Göteborg, about four and a half hours to Malmö. The neighbouring places Hogstad and Skänninge are nearby, and the lake Tåkern is a car journey away.
The area around the place has many aged forty-five to sixty-four and a fifth pensioners. Brestorp suits those who want to live in the countryside and have a car, with Mjölby nearby. Those who want to walk to the shop will have to look elsewhere.
