'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.
