Salisbury Bemerton

About

Bemerton is a residential area located just west of Salisbury city centre in Wiltshire. The area is primarily made up of housing, ranging from Victorian terraces to modern developments, with a mix of private and social housing. Local amenities include a few shops, pubs, and a primary school, catering to everyday needs. The River Nadder runs along the southern edge of Bemerton, providing green spaces and walking routes.

The area has historical connections, notably as the home of poet George Herbert in the 17th century. St Andrew’s Church, where Herbert served as rector, remains a focal point. Bemerton is well-connected to Salisbury by road and public transport, making it convenient for commuting. While quieter than the city centre, it retains a community feel with local events and clubs. The nearby Harnham Water Meadows offer scenic views and recreational opportunities.
