The pretty market town of Church Stretton lies in the heart of south Shropshire. It is set amid striking scenery and has often been described as “Little Switzerland”. The town is the main centre for Shropshires hill country and home to a variety of tea rooms, pubs and specialist shops.
One of the unique features of Church Stretton is its location on the Long Mynd, a ridge of hills that runs through the town. This provides ample opportunities for hiking, cycling, and other outdoor pursuits. Visitors can also take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside from the summit of the Long Mynd.
The town itself has a rich history, with evidence of settlements dating back to the Bronze Age. The town’s name is thought to derive from the Old English for “church on a paved road”, reflecting its importance as a stopping point on the historic trade routes that crisscrossed the region.
Today, Church Stretton is a thriving community with a range of amenities and attractions. From its traditional market square to its lively festivals and events, there is always something to see and do in this charming town.
