ECW Battlefield Walk around Roundway Down and Devizes

[carojon]

Earlier this month Mr Steve and I spent a very pleasant and sunny day exploring the English Civil War history around and in Devizes, Wiltshire.

A long held ambition to take the time to explore the area, after many visits to the Devizes Wargaming show, ‘Attack’ over the years, was finally ticked off the list.

If you would like to see how are day went together with a summary of the events that unfolded in the area back in the summer of 1643, then just follow the link to JJ’s.

I used to drive past Roundway every day on my way to and from work. I’ve visited most of the battlefields in my English Heritage guide; that is one of the nearest but I still haven’t been! Familiarity breeds contempt…

Hi,

Well it took retirement, I guess, to cause me to make the time and drive up there after, like you passing the place many many times, and it was well worth the effort.
