Church Stretton is a small town in southern Shropshire, England, located approximately 13 miles (21 km) south of Shrewsbury, the county town. At the 2001 census, the town's population was 4,186.
The area has been settled since the Iron Age, during which a hillfort was constructed on Caer Caradoc Hill. The town was nicknamed "Little Switzerland" during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, due to its hilly terrain. The local geology is complex and incorporates some of the oldest rocks in England.
Major local employers include a water-bottling plant, polymer laboratories and the tourist trade, and the town is a centre for the sport of archery.
