Enjoy a pleasant ride along flat, paved, and scenic back roads near the village of Bulkington. I'd recommend a visit to the nearby Well Inn pub.

Devizes Market Place and Landmarks

Highlight • Historical Site

The Market Cross was designed by Benjamin Wyatt and was given somewhat begrudgingly by Lord Sidmouth. He was Member of Parliament for the Borough from 1784 to 1805 and Prime Minister from 1801 to 1804. Apparently (and not unusual for a politician) he seemed to have forgotten an earlier promise to erect a cross way back in 1797, but the townspeople managed to persuade him and in 1814 the Cross was built.

Caen Hill Locks

Highlight • Viewpoint

An impressive set of 29 locks cross the canal one after the other between Rowde and Devizes on the Kennet and Avon Canal. Engineered by John Rennie in the 18th century to allow boats to climb the steep hill, the locks take around 5 hours to pass by boat.

As thousands of trees were planted around the locks to mark the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, you’ll also find beautiful nature and wildlife here.
