Overview

Devizes is a small market town in North Wiltshire; it is famous for a few reasons one being its magnificent flight of 29 locks on Caen Hill.

Devizes does have a castle though it is not open to the public. The 19th century building stands on the site of a former Norman fortification that was built by the Bishop of Salisbury.

  • The town’s main attraction is the museum, which was the first in Wiltshire and features an impressive haul of Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age findings. The collection is of pre-historic relics and is among the finest in Europe, though the museum does have more contemporary exhibits too. A white horse chalk hill figure was cut into Roundway Hill just north of the town to commemorate the millennium.
