Wick Rissington is a small stone-built village set among the rolling limestone pastures of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Gloucestershire, England. The settlement has the familiar Cotswold character of honey-coloured cottages, narrow lanes and a compact historic core, sitting quietly within an agricultural landscape of sheep and mixed farmland.
Historically rooted in the medieval countryside, the village retains a parish church and a conservation-minded feel, with many houses dating back centuries. Today the economy is largely rural and residential, with farming alongside a sprinkling of tourism and commuters to nearby market towns, while a small, engaged local community supports traditional events and village life.
