Castle Hotel, New Park Street, Devizes, SN10 1DS

Distinctive 18th Century three storey red brick Victorian property with wooden sash casement windows, under pitched slate roofs.

Devizes is an attractive and architecturally rich market town located in the central Wiltshire. Celebrated for its medieval origins and elegant Georgian buildings the town has over 500 listed buildings and a thriving Market Place which has remained central to its commercial and community life since receiving its first charter in 1141.

At the heart of its heritage is Devizes Castle, originally constructed in 1080, and the Wiltshire Museum, which houses nationally significant collections including Bronze Age gold and artefacts from the nearby Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site.

The town is also renowned for its brewing legacy, with Wadworth Brewery, established in 1875, still operating in Devizes and drawing visitors keen to experience its traditional ales and brewery tours.

Devizes supports a dynamic network of independent retailers, hospitality venues, and professional services, offering a distinctive and diverse commercial environment.

Devizes is well-connected via the A360, A342, and A361, providing direct routes to Salisbury, Chippenham, Swindon and the national motorway network, supporting both commuter and commercial traffic.

While Devizes does not have its own railway station, it is served by nearby stations at Chippenham, Pewsey, and Trowbridge, all within approximately 10 miles, offering regular services to London, Bath, Bristol, and beyond.
