This view looking west, shows arable land that now occupies the position of the deer park once attached to Devizes Castle. Once covered in hundreds of trees, the "Old Park" was marked out by a "Park Pale", a wide bank built to keep the deer in place, helping to provide plenty of sporting opportunity for Edward 1st. The original Park Pale can be seen to the left of the photograph.
