The village lies between 580 and 600 feet above sea level at the northern end of the Stretton Gap.

The beginning of the Cound Brook, a minor river that runs 25 miles across the southern Shropshire-Severn plains, is found in the village, where the stream from the Batch valley joins the Ashbrook.

[1] The remaining parish of All Stretton is geographically small and has no well-defined settlements, only dispersed farms and houses, including Womerton and High Park.

[5] The former Stretton Hall Hotel, located in the centre of the village opposite the Yew Tree Inn, underwent redevelopment into a nursing home in 2008/2009; before that it had held a pub licence since 1976.

The church stands at the northern end of the village, on a hillside rising steeply from Shrewsbury Road.

The church has a Roll of Honour naming the parish dead of both World Wars, and wooden panelling that includes the door to the vestry, in memory of a former curate, John Charles Bartleet, who died on active service as an army chaplain in Palestine in 1942.

The village also boasts a traditional red telephone box, which sits at the bottom of Castle Hill and is still functioning.

A prominent children's book writer who regularly visited her sister Anne's house in the village, Caradoc Lodge, was Hesba Stretton (1832–1911).

The affix "All" derives from an early owner called Alfred,[11] rather than from a supposed comment made by King James I of England.
