About Church Stretton:
Church Stretton is a small market town made fashionable by the Victorians with a pleasing atmosphere of small shops and good service. The town nestles in a valley with glorious backdrop of the Longmynd and Caer Caradoc. This setting has earned it the name of 'Little Switzerland' the more so in winter when dusted with snow. The shuttle bus that circulates up on the Longmynd plateau, passes through the town centre. This area of outstanding natural beauty is renowned for its many beautiful and scenic walks to suit both the less energetic and the more experienced hill walkers and those with an interest in the extraordinary geological formulations of Shropshire.
