Church Stretton is a rather special place in Shropshire and has been a destination for visitors for many years. Although an attractive town, it is the setting that most people come to see, with the surrounding hills providing the main attraction. For many years it was a spa town, with people coming to take the air and water, but today's visitors are usually more energetic, coming for the fine walks available in the area.
The Long Mynd is the main attraction, and the name simply means the Long Mountain. Thankfully, someone decided to use the word Mynd, rather than mountain, otherwise it would get confused with the next range of hills to the west which is also called the Long Mountain. A few pictures I took on a day out lot more to come.
