Stretton-on-Dunsmore is a small, rural parish on the southern edge of the borough of Rugby in Warwickshire, England. It sits on high ground overlooking the open countryside and is immediately north-east of the large reservoir at Draycote Water, making it popular with walkers and birdwatchers; its name reflects the village’s historic siting beside a Roman road, the Fosse Way.
Today the parish remains largely agricultural with a tight-knit village community and many residents commuting into nearby Rugby or Coventry for work. Historic roots and rural character give it a peaceful, village feel while proximity to major roads and the reservoir make it an appealing base for both country pursuits and easy access to larger towns.
