Stretton-on-Dunsmore is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Rugby, Warwickshire, England. Its name hints at history - 'Stretton' denotes a settlement beside a Roman road and 'Dunsmore' links it to the old commonlands of Dunsmore Heath - and it sits on the higher, open countryside that gives pleasant views over surrounding farmland while remaining within easy reach of the West Midlands, including Coventry.
The village still feels traditionally rural, with cottages, a village hall, a pub and an active parish community; historically agricultural, the local economy now combines farming with commuters travelling to nearby towns and regional industry, and the quiet lanes and footpaths make it popular with walkers and cyclists.
