So modern the builders are still there and it isn't on the map yet. Congratulations to all concerned for the appearance of the houses, smart, good variation, good layout - it can be done.

A modern housing development north of Devizes, the street cleaner is doing his rounds already, there's keen. <> All housing developments are modern when they are being built.

Quakers Walk is a footpath from Devizes to Roundway Village. Possibly medieval, the path is over three quarters of a mile long. There is an interesting article on the walk at http://www.devizesheritage.org.uk/quakers_walk.html

New Park was established as a deer park in 1157, and this path has been a public right of way for at least 200 years http://www.trustfordevizes.info/quakers_walk

Seen from Quakers Walk footpath this recent development is on what was previously open space. Urban creep.

The market town of Devizes developed around its 11th century castle. It gained a charter in 1141 and holds a weekly market in the large and picturesque Market Place. In the 16th century the town became known for its textiles and in the early 18th century held the largest corn market in the West Country. Devizes has about 500 listed buildings - a very large number for a small town.

West of Brickham Bridge. I hesitate to call this an estate, though it obviously is, the mix of styles has been skillfully handled so some but not too many have a similar appearance.

Very recent urban creep and quite pleasant but still urban creep. So recent it does not yet figure on Where's the Path. You take the first turning past the police station on the A361 north of Devizes.
