About

Devizes West is a residential area on the western side of the historic market town of Devizes. The housing is primarily a mix of post-war estates and some older properties, providing a settled community atmosphere. The Kennet and Avon Canal forms a significant part of its eastern boundary, with the Caen Hill flight of locks situated just to the south. This creates a distinct green corridor for walking and boating alongside the residential streets.

Local amenities are focused on practicality, with several schools, supermarkets, and smaller local shops serving daily needs. The area provides direct access to the town centre, where the traditional market and more extensive services are found. Open spaces include the recreation ground near the canal, offering playing fields and casual green space for the community.
