Where to go
Savernake Forest
About a half-hour drive from Devizes is Savernake Forest, an ancient woodland that is a Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) where towering oaks and serene trails offer an escape into nature. Campers can explore a network of pathways, such as Grand Avenue—a majestic tree-lined path through the heart of the forest. For a longer trek, take a hike on an unmarked trail past Big Belly Oak—one of the oldest oaks in the country. Stay on-site in year-round campsites that offer flat green pitches for tents and caravans and access to toilets, wash basins, and a shop.
Lacock Abbey
Twenty minutes northeast of Devizes is the village of Lacock, known for its charming streets and medieval buildings. After a leisurely stroll through the village's cobbled lanes, step into a realm of history at Lacock Abbey, which was founded in 1232. Explore the grand rooms and medieval cloisters that feature rare examples of medieval monastic architecture. Then see the areas where films like Harry Potter were made, and don't miss the captivating photographic museum. Stay at a nearby holiday park with hard-standing and grass pitches that offer electric hookups, showers, and chemical disposal. Or set up amongst alpacas in a private bell tent rental with double beds and log burners.
Kennet and Avon Canal
Explore Kennet and Avon Canal, which meanders right through Devizes. Take a leisurely walk along the towpath next to the historic waterway that stretches through picturesque countryside. Observe the working locks, canoe in the canal’s waters, go fishing, or take a boat trip out Devizes Wharf. Settle in for the night at a waterside campsite with tent and caravan pitches and amenities such as showers, toilets, electricity hookups, and direct access to the canal for boating and fishing.
