Arden is a district in Warwickshire, England, near Stratford-upon-Avon. It was formerly heavily wooded, as the Forest of Arden, the setting for Shakespeare's As You Like It..

Towns in the area include:

• Hampton-in-Arden
• Henley-in-Arden
• Tanworth-in-Arden

• Also, probably in reference to the Shakespearean Forest of Arden, a Forest Arden figures prominently in the Amber_(fictional_universe) series of novels by the late Roger Zelazny where the forest surrounds the City of Amber and is a necessary crossing to get there, usually well guarded.
