What is "alderbury"

Alderbury is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, about southeast of Salisbury.

The parish includes the village of Whaddon, which is adjacent to Alderbury, and the hamlet of Shute End. The Salisbury Avon forms the western boundary of the parish. The villages are on the Salisbury- Southampton road which became the A36 primary route; a bypass was opened in 1978, taking the A36 to the east of the villages.
