About

Old Sarum & Lower Bourne Valley is a ward on the northern outskirts of Salisbury. The area is defined by its open chalk downland and the River Bourne, which flows through the valley. It contains the distinct settlements of Old Sarum village and the residential areas of Lower Bourne and Hampton Park. The landscape is largely rural, with agricultural land and water meadows characterising much of the ward's perimeter.

The ward's most prominent feature is the historic site of Old Sarum, the original settlement of Salisbury, featuring the earthworks of an Iron Age hillfort and a medieval castle. This ancient monument sits in stark contrast to the modern housing developments nearby. The Bourne Valley Community Centre serves as a local hub, and the area is traversed by several public footpaths connecting the neighbourhoods to the surrounding countryside.
