About

Church Stretton sits in the Shropshire Hills AONB, in a valley between the Long Mynd and the Stiperstones. The town serves as a local centre with a compact high street of independent shops and cafes, a weekly market and a railway station on the Welsh Marches Line. Small galleries, a library and community venues support year-round activity, and bus and rail links connect the area with larger regional towns. Nearby settlements such as Little Stretton and All Stretton are commonly grouped together as The Strettons.

The landscape around Church Stretton frames many of the area’s routes and views. Carding Mill Valley, managed by the National Trust, is a frequent access point onto the Long Mynd plateau and its marked footpaths. The Stiperstones rise as a broken quartzite ridge with named rock features, including the formation called the Devil’s Chair, and old quarry scars. A network of lanes, bridleways and public footpaths links farmland, commons and ridgelines, making the town a practical base for walking, geology study and countryside access.
