About

Devizes South ward covers the southern portion of the historic market town of Devizes, located on the edge of the Vale of Pewsey. The area includes residential neighbourhoods, local shopping streets, and the grounds of the former Wiltshire County Asylum, now largely converted into housing. The Kennet and Avon Canal runs through the ward, featuring the notable Caen Hill Locks, a significant flight of locks that is a major feature of the canal's engineering.

The ward's landscape is marked by the transition from the town's urban form to more open countryside, with areas of green space and playing fields. The local economy is supported by a mix of independent retailers and services along the main routes. Residential areas consist largely of 20th-century housing developments, providing homes for a community that engages with the town's facilities and the recreational opportunities offered by the canal towpath.
