Devonshire Parish Bermuda
Devonshire is a centrally located parish in Bermuda. The parish has been named after William Cavendish, the first Earl of the Parish and a British investor in colonizing Devonshire. Unlike the other parishes, Devonshire has been deprived of harbors or ports and therefore could not flourish as part of the marine industry boom.
However, it has prospered mainly based on farming and agriculture. Landscapes here are spectacular and the parish has a relaxed country atmosphere. The British had built a strong military base here in mid 1800s with forts that had views right up to Royal Naval Dockyard at the western end of Bermuda.
