All Stretton is a little hamlet just a 4 minute drive from the ever popular Church Stretton. Today, the town offers an attractive blend of historic character and modern convenience, with a thriving high street featuring a variety of independent shops, boutiques, cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs, and essential everyday amenities. Regular markets and community events contribute to its welcoming atmosphere, creating a strong sense of community while supporting local businesses.
Surrounded by picturesque countryside, the area is renowned for its scenic walking and cycling routes, ancient woodlands, rolling farmland, and open green spaces. It is also home to several historic parks, many of which originated as medieval deer parks and traditional hunting grounds associated with former manor houses and country estates. These beautifully preserved landscapes not only provide excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation but also reflect the area's rich heritage, making the town an appealing location for those seeking a balance of rural tranquillity and modern living.

History
Church Stretton is a historic market town nestled in the heart of the Shropshire Hills, with a history dating back to Saxon times. Its name is derived from the Old English "Stretton", meaning "settlement on a Roman road," reflecting its position along the ancient Roman route of Watling Street. The town grew around the parish church of St Laurence, from which it takes the prefix "Church," distinguishing it from nearby settlements.

During the Victorian era, Church Stretton flourished as a popular health resort, earning the nickname "Little Switzerland" due to its dramatic hill scenery and clean mountain air. Wealthy visitors were drawn to the town for its peaceful surroundings and therapeutic climate, leading to the development of elegant villas, hotels, and public buildings, many of which remain today. This rich history, combined with its stunning natural setting, continues to make Church Stretton one of Shropshire's most attractive and sought-after market towns.
