About

Devizes Rural West ward encompasses a large portion of the open countryside to the west of the town itself, characterised by expansive agricultural land and scattered villages. The area is defined by the chalk downlands of the Salisbury Plain Training Area to the south and the fertile Vale of Pewsey to the north. Settlement is focused in communities like Potterne, Market Lavington, and West Lavington, which serve as local hubs within the wider rural landscape.

The geography is marked by rolling fields and significant areas of military training land, which influences land use and access. A notable feature is the presence of the Wessex Ridgeway, a long-distance trail traversing the ancient chalk ridges. The ward's economy is primarily linked to farming, with a landscape historically shaped by large estates and now also supporting commuter populations connected to Devizes and beyond.
