Salisbury Harnham East

Salisbury Harnham East ward is a primarily residential area situated on the southern bank of the River Avon, directly opposite Salisbury's historic city centre. It encompasses the old settlement of West Harnham and extends into more modern housing developments. The ward is defined by its proximity to the river and the water meadows, which provide a distinct green buffer between it and the core urban area.

The area is anchored by local shops and services along Harnham Road. A very specific feature is the presence of the 15th-century Harnham Water Meadows, a historic water-meadow system managed for conservation. The medieval Harnham Bridge, which connects the ward to the city, is a notable crossing point. Residential streets are a mix of older cottages and post-war homes, with views often oriented towards Salisbury Cathedral spire across the floodplain.
