Roundway is a hamlet, ward and former civil parish adjacent to Devizes in the English county of Wiltshire.[2] The hamlet lies about 1+1⁄4 miles (2.0 km) northeast of Devizes town centre.
In April 2017, Roundway civil parish was abolished and became a ward of Devizes parish,[3][4] owing to housing development to the north, east and south of the town. At the 2001 census, Roundway parish had a population of 2,267, increasing to 5,290 at the census of 2011.[5]
Roundway ward is 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.[2]
Towards the south of the ward is the former hamlet of Nursteed, now a contiguous suburb of Devizes.
Most of the land surrounding Roundway is agricultural. To the north of the hamlet is Roundway Hill, a popular place for walking and kite and model aircraft flying. The hill has round barrows which are scheduled monuments.[6]
