Devonshire Parish, Bermuda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Devonshire Parish is one of the nine parishes of Bermuda. It is named for William Cavendish, 1st Earl of Devonshire (1552-1626).
It is located in the centre of the territory, close to the junction between the main part of the main island and the peninsula containing the capital, Hamilton, and Pembroke Parish (to which it is joined in the west). To the northeast, it is joined to Smith's Parish, and to the southwest it borders Paget Parish. As with most of Bermuda's parishes, it covers just over 2.3 square miles (about 6.0 km² or 1500 acres).
Natural features in Devonshire include Devonshire Bay.
Other notable features of Devonshire include Devonshire Dock, Fort Langton and Fort Devonshire, as well as the Bermuda National Stadium.
