We are close to the centre of Devizes in the very heart of Wiltshire, at the convergence of the A361, A342, A4361 and A360. Regular buses run to railway stations in Bath, Swindon,Salisbury and Trowbridge and also to Chippenham and Pewsey. All the buses stop at the Market Square.

The Museum lies approximately 500 yards due south of the Market Square on the West side of Long Street, one of the town’s most picturesque streets, lined with Georgian houses. It can easily be found by the wrought iron sign hanging above the arched entrance, flags and the notice boards placed out on the pavement.

For car users, long term parking can be found in the Station Road car park (90p for 2 hours) or you may find on-street parking close to the Museum. Several other car parks are scattered throughout the town. Parking is also available on the side of most streets (this is restricted to 30 minutes in the Market Square and 2 hours further away). We can offer limited parking at the rear of the Museum, but this cannot be guaranteed, particularly if we have events. If you are bringing a group, or require a space reserving for you, then please let us know. There is a single blue badge parking space at the front of the museum and there is a dedicated blue badge parking space at the rear of the building. We close the car park from 5pm.

For cyclists, walkers and canal boat users, the town is a major stop on the Kennet and Avon canal which runs from Bath all the way to Reading. The Museum is only 10 minutes walk from the wharf. Cyclists are welcome to leave their bikes just inside the museum's staff car park, but please note that it closes shortly after 5pm most days.
