Bishopstrow is a small, rural parish in Wiltshire, England, lying just south of the market town of Warminster on the banks of the River Wylye. Set in chalk downland on the edge of Salisbury Plain, it is characterised by rolling arable fields, riverside meadows and a network of footpaths that attract walkers and birdwatchers.
The parish has a quiet, historic feel, with a handful of listed buildings including the elegant Bishopstrow House, a Georgian country house now run as a hotel, and a parish church with medieval roots. Agriculture remains important locally, while proximity to attractions such as Longleat and the wider Wylye valley means tourism and country-house hospitality also contribute to the local economy and character.
