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. ==Governance== The civil parish was created in 1894; until then it was part of Bishops Cannings parish in the Potterne and Cannings hundred. The parish elects a parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions. An electoral ward with the same name exists. This ward has separate boundaries to the parish and at the 2011 census the population was 4,514. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roundway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
