Church
Stretton became a Spa town in the late 1800’s, attracting visitors
to test the spring waters: but nowadays most people come to enjoy the
countryside surrounding the town, and to gain access to the hills. The
area is within one of outstanding natural beauty and a large
proportion of the land is owned and maintained by the National Trust. The Long Mynd is a plateau of open moorland stretching to 12 miles in length and rising approximately 1,700ft at its highest point. From Spring to October the National Trust runs a regular shuttle bus circular service to the top of the hills and beyond, with passengers being able to alight and rejoin at any point. It is well worth doing the circular journey, as there are the spectacular views to be seen.
Walking is one of the most popular past-times and Rheingold is within easy access to all of the local footpaths. Other local leisure activities include golf, tennis, horse riding and gliding; with a wealth of history to be discovered in nearby Ludlow or Shrewsbury. Church Stretton also makes the ideal base for exploring the neighboring towns and villages, with a wealth of history to be discovered. There are many National Trust and English Heritage sites close by, as well as regular festive attractions.
