About

The Potterne & Rowde area lies just south of Devizes, characterised by open farmland and the gentle slopes of the Pewsey Vale. The villages are connected by narrow lanes, with many buildings constructed from the local limestone and brick. Potterne is a linear settlement along a ridge, while Rowde sits closer to the Kennet and Avon Canal, its historic centre clustered around a crossroads.

The Kennet and Avon Canal forms a key feature, with Rowde's Caen Hill Locks presenting a dramatic flight of 29 locks in quick succession. This significant engineering feat from the early 19th century draws narrowboat traffic and walkers along the towpath. The surrounding landscape is predominantly agricultural, with fields giving way to patches of woodland on the higher ground.
