Exploring the area…
Church Stretton is an excellent base for explorations of one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of rural England. The town is located next to the Long Mynd and the Carding Mill Valley, offering excellent opportunities for walking in a beautiful landscape. Within easy driving distance are the towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Bishop’s Castle and Montgomery, all with their own individual characters and interest. The Clee Hills and Stiperstones offer further walking opportunities, or you can visit the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in Telford and Ironbridge.
