Stretton is a small civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester, set in rural Cheshire. The name, like many Strettons, derives from Old English for a settlement by a Roman road, and the parish still shows a historic, agricultural pattern of farms, hedgerows and a handful of listed buildings and traditional farmhouses.
It combines quiet countryside living with relatively easy access to larger towns by main roads, which makes it attractive to both long-standing farming families and commuters; community life tends to centre on the village hall, the local church and occasional parish events, while lanes and public footpaths are popular with walkers and riders.
