Wick is a small, riverside village in South Gloucestershire, England, set close to the tidal mudflats and salt marshes of the Severn Estuary. Its low‑lying landscape gives long views along the River Severn and attracts birdwatchers and walkers, while proximity to Bristol means many residents commute into the city, blending traditional rural life with a commuter presence.
The village has historic ties to estuary trades, fishing and small‑scale farming, and retains traditional stone farmhouses and a parish church alongside converted barns and small local businesses. Social life tends to centre on the village hall and pub, and local conservation groups are active in protecting the distinctive marshland and wildlife that define Wick’s character.
