Wickwar is a small historic village in South Gloucestershire, England, sitting in rolling farmland on the southern fringe of the Cotswolds and a short drive from both Bristol and Gloucester. Its compact centre retains a traditional village feel with a mix of stone and brick cottages, a historic street pattern and a village green that hint at its market-town past.
Today the village combines rural life with a commuter connection to nearby towns: agriculture and small local businesses sit alongside residents who travel for work. Socially it’s an active community with a village hall, pub and occasional local events, while the conservation of listed buildings helps preserve the character that draws walkers and visitors to the surrounding countryside.
