Stretton is a small village in the district of North East Derbyshire in Derbyshire, England. It lies a few miles south of Chesterfield and close to Clay Cross, so it combines a quiet, rural feel of rolling farmland with straightforward road links to larger towns and commuting routes.
The village name comes from Old English meaning a settlement on a Roman road, and like much of the area it felt the impact of 19th‑century industry and coal mining before becoming more residential. Today community life is typically local and neighbourly, centred on village amenities and occasional events, while the surrounding countryside makes it attractive for walkers and anyone seeking a quieter base near the Peak District fringes.
