The Fox & Hounds sits right in the heart of Devizes, a working market town that marks where many people reckon the Cotswolds give way to Wiltshire.
This proper English pub is exactly the kind of place you'll want to know about when you're spending time in this part of the world. Step inside and you'll find a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, the sort of spot where you can decompress after a day out exploring and actually feel like you belong.
The drinks list pulls together locally brewed ales alongside all the standards you'd expect, and the food sticks to honest, traditional pub fare that hits the mark after a long walk. Whether you're after a chance to catch up with travel companions, get talking to whoever's propping up the bar, or just sit quietly with a pint, it works for all of those things equally well.
The town itself deserves your attention beyond the pub. Its historic marketplace is genuinely interesting, and the Caen Hill Locks on the Kennet & Avon Canal are extraordinary to see, just a short walk away. From here you're also well-placed to visit Avebury's ancient stone circles and other attractions across this historically rich corner of England. The Fox & Hounds serves as a natural gathering point, the kind of local establishment that gives you real insight into how people actually live here.
