Luxury self-catering accommodation in Devizes

Fans of myth and legend come to rural Devizes not only to enjoy this medieval market town but to make forays into the surrounding countryside to visit its iconic attractions. From barely discernible ruins under the grass to Iron Age settlements still standing, the attractions make exciting days out. The castle at Roundway Down is a hill fort popular with walkers, often hard to find without a good local map; magic and mystery surround the iconic Neolithic wonder of Stonehenge, and Avebury's ceremonial stone ring site is a short drive into the nearby rolling Downs.

Water-lovers appreciate the scenic Kennet and Avon Canal that runs right through town, in particular, the amazing string of 29 continuous locks that make up the Caen Hill 'flight', a picturesque challenge for the hardiest barge expert. Those who complete the task can reward themselves with a tour around the town's Victorian Wadworth Brewery and visitor centre, where pints are pulled as well as created; check out the memorabilia on display at the Brewseum. When staying in a self-catering holiday home in Devizes, you might spot one of the majestic Shire horses working to deliver ale to pubs around town.
