Derry Hill is a village in the English county of Wiltshire, belonging to the civil parish of Calne Without.〔OS Explorer Map 156, Chippenham and Bradford-on-Avon Scale: 1:25 000.Publisher: Ordnance Survey A2 edition (2007). ISBN 978-0319239438〕 ==Geography== Derry Hill is located to the south of the A4 road, east of Chippenham and to the west of Calne. The old London to Bristol road turned left after the Soho Inn, along what is now the village's Church Road, to join the Devizes road; then the old road descended Old Derry Hill. The modern section of the road, avoiding the descent, was built between 1787 and 1810, and is now part of the A4. Previously, Derry Hill was in the vicinity of Calne branch of Wilts & Berks Canal that followed the course of the river Marden; Wilts & Berks Canal Trust aims to restore the canal to run through the village, just north of Church Road.〔(Wilts & Berks Canal Trust Map: Calne Branch 1 )〕 Moreover, Chippenham and Calne Line of Great Western Railway passed by the village, since its opening in 1863, and until its closure to passengers in 1965.
