The
surrounding dramatic landscape is a
paradise for walkers and geologists,
the Precambrian rock being some of the
oldest in Britain. Volcanic activity
provided the Lawley and Caradoc Stretton
Hills with ice-flows creating the wonderful
features of the Longmynd, whilst the
nearby limestone escarpment of Wenlock
Edge is abundant with fossils.
Church
Stretton
Just a few miles away, the market town
