Long Walkers: Wick Circuit – 10 miles

This walk takes us around the area of the village of Wick and has some great views, a longbarrow and some ancient lanes. Parts of the walk will be on roads.

Wick lies on one of the main roads into Bristol, namely the A420 from Chippenham. Nowadays, it marks the apparent transition from open country to built-up urban area, though in fact, there are fields between Wick and Bridge Yate where continuous housing really begins. At one time it would have been much further out from the Bristol conurbation, and the Rose & Crown was a former coaching inn along this main route.
