The charming village of Little Stretton, just 14 miles south of Shrewsbury, lies at the foot of the beautiful Long Mynd Hills, renowned for their stunning beauty and rolling countryside walks. The village boasts two excellent pubs and a delightfully quaint church. This stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its alpine style hills and valleys, is a must for any outdoor enthusiast with the surrounding countryside boasting many footpaths, bridleways and cycling trails across the thousands of acres of National Trust moorland and woodland areas. The pretty town of Church Stretton, christened ‘Little Switzerland’ by the Victorians, is close by and is set amid striking scenery. Still retaining its spa town feel, with natural springs being the source of Stretton Hills bottled water, the town is home to a variety of tea rooms, pubs, specialist shops, a huge antique centre and hill top golf course. Other local attractions include the Acton Scott Working Farm, Stokesay Castle, the Discovery Hill Centre and the wonderful historic towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Ironbridge, Much Wenlock and Bishop’s Castle, all within easy driving distance.
