At the junction of Church Road, Derry Hill, and the A342 Devizes Road is the Golden Gates into Bowood Park Image, the Lansdowne Arms Image, and these delightful Bowood Estate Cottages. Church Road was, until 1810, part of the main London to Bristol Road and travellers would then descend Derry Hill. The cottages dating to circa 1850 are listed, grade II with details at http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1253789 and at http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1261708
