About Stratford sub Castle

Google Earth image with added labels.

Situated on the northern fringes of Salisbury, Wiltshire and just south of the Woodford Valley, Stratford sub Castle was once a thriving medieval village but is now a semi-rural residential area and since 1954, part of Salisbury. It lies 8 miles south of Stonehenge.

The Grade 1 listed St Lawrence Church, and Stratford sub Castle C of E Primary School, are in the midst of our active and friendly community.

Details of our local clubs, groups and other organisations are in the menu under 'Groups'. There's also a flyer available that was distributed throughout Stratford by the Parish Magazine team. Click the image to view the flyer.

Stratford's geographical boundary to the west is the River Avon. On the higher eastern boundary is Old Sarum, once an iron age hill fort, later the site of a Norman castle. In the castle's outer bailey lay the original Sarum (Salisbury) cathedral.
