The historic town of Church Stretton nestles in the shade of the Long Mynd in picturesque South Shropshire- designated an Area of Outstanding Beauty. The hills and vales are a Mecca for tourists and a delight for townsfolk, who can enjoy the fresh air, spectacular scenery and a host of activities ranging from gliding and golf, to horse riding and walking.

Church Stretton is the jewel in Shropshire’s crown and enjoys the well-deserved cliché of “Little Switzerland”. During each year’s Festival the town and its surrounding villages take on an added sparkle…the hills literally becoming “Alive with the Sound of Music”!
