The Clays, DEVIZES, SN10 4AY

From the bridleway a (narrow) footpath leads to High Street.

The bridleway continues towards Lavington Hill.

Houses along the track and public bridleway 'The Clays'.

A couple of houses fronting onto The Clays. The first house has an unusual first floor oriel window. Market Lavington lies at the foot of the north western scarp slope of Salisbury Plain, about 5 miles south of Devizes. There is evidence of continuous occupation of the village since the Iron Age and maybe, near continuous occupation since late Neolithic times. The village developed around the cross roads of an east-west road (now the B3098) and a north-south road which ran from Devizes to Salisbury – later closed. Once considered a town, a market charter was granted in 1254.

The footpath heads uphill from the track and public bridleway 'The Clays'.
