Wick St. Lawrence is a small, rural parish in North Somerset, England, lying a few miles inland from the Bristol Channel and just southeast of Weston-super-Mare, with Bristol within easy commuting distance. The settlement clusters round a medieval church dedicated to St Lawrence and the surrounding landscape is typical west-country countryside - farmland, hedgerows and quiet lanes with views towards the Mendip Hills.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the parish now combines farming with a largely commuter population and local community activities centred on the village hall and church; there are also a number of older, listed buildings and surviving farmsteads. Its position close to the coast and larger towns gives a mix of tranquil rural life and practical links to the wider regional economy.
