Church Stretton is a historic Market Town situated in the heart of the South Shropshire hills on the English/Welsh border known as The Marches. It is the only town in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area is renowned worldwide for its geology, with some of the oldest rock formations in existence.
The picturesque town and surrounding villages form an excellent base for the country lover and sportsman alike at all times of the year; whether hikers, horse riders, mountain bikers, or nature-lovers. The Long Mynd rising above the west of the town is renowned for gliding, hang gliding and paragliding, and boasts the second highest golf course in England.
