Stretton is a small, mainly rural parish in North East Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, its name reflecting an origin on a Roman road ("street town"). The landscape is a mix of rolling farmland, hedgerows and small woodlands with clusters of stone cottages and a compact village core, giving it a distinctly Derbyshire character on the edge of the old coalfield.
Historically the area felt the influence of nearby industrial centres such as Clay Cross and Chesterfield, but today the local economy is largely agricultural and residential, with many residents commuting to larger towns and cities including Sheffield. Community life revolves around traditional parish activities, a village hall and church, and easy access to Peak District countryside for walking and leisure.
