Stretton Sugwas (/ˈstrɛtən ˈsʌɡəs/ ⓘ STRET-ən SUG-əs) is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, about 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Hereford.

[1] In 1087 the village was held by Roger de Lacy and consisted of two and a half hides paying geld, in demesne there was 2 ploughs, 1 villan, 9 bordars, 4 oxmen, and 2 radknights, as well as a mill rendering 32d.

[4] Stretton Sugwas never had a railway station of its own, although the route of the old Hay and Brecon line can still be traced alongside the old Roman Road and into Credenhill.

In Swainshill, the former Kites Nest pub became an Indian Restaurant, the Basmati, most recently demolished to make way for housing.

In 2003-04 the main Roman Road leading to Stretton Sugwas and Credenhill, for a long time just a narrow country lane was improved.
