Roundway

Roundway is a hamlet and civil parish adjacent to Devizes in the English county of Wiltshire.

Roundway parish is still independent from Devizes but housing development has continued north, east and south from Devizes over the parish boundary. In the census of 2001 the parish had a population of 2,267, increasing to 5,290 at the census of 2011. The parish is located in the north, east and southwest of Devizes, and on the north side lies off the A361, which passes from Devizes to Swindon. On the southwest side it is accessible by the A360 Salisbury - Devizes Road, and by the A342. The small hamlet of Roundway lies just to the north of this, towards the White Horse. The north part of Roundway provides a bypass from the north of Devizes to the west through Conscience Lane.

Towards the south of the parish is the former hamlet of Nursteed, now a contiguous suburb of Devizes.

Most of the land surrounding Roundway is agricultural and to the north of Roundway is Roundway Hill, a popular place for walking and kite and model aircraft flying. The hill has round barrows which are scheduled monuments.

Usage examples of "roundway".

A bit further along there was Stanley Roundway, in shorts that came down to his knees, showing a group of somewhat older dead how to play football.

This was a question on which, as may be imagined, Saxon had much to say, and the pair were soon involved in a heated discussion, in which the experiences of Roundway Down and Marston Moor were balanced against the results of a score of unpronounceable fights in the Styrian Alps and along the Danube.

Waller drew up on Roundway Down, about two miles from the Devizes, and advancing with his cavalry to fight Wilmot, and prevent his conjunction with the Cornish infantry, was received with equal valor by the royalists.
