Long Marston is a compact rural parish set a few miles south‑west of the town of Stratford‑upon‑Avon in the Stratford‑on‑Avon district of Warwickshire, England. It feels typically Warwickshire, with scattered farms, hedgerows and a small village core that serves a local community alongside commuters who travel into nearby towns; the countryside setting and proximity to Shakespeare’s birthplace give it a quietly picturesque, semi‑rural character.
Historically agricultural, the parish is also known for a former wartime airfield and large rail/vehicle storage areas which have shaped more recent local industry and occasional events. That legacy of military and rail use, together with village activities and small local enterprises, gives Long Marston an interesting mix of heritage, community life and pragmatic economic uses amid the surrounding farmland.
