Lower Wick
Lower Wick is a small hamlet located in the county of Gloucestershire, England.[1] It is situated about five miles south west of Dursley, eighteen miles southwest of Gloucester and fifteen miles northeast of Bristol. Lower Wick is within the civil parish of Alkington.[2]
The hamlet contains approximately 17 homes (including the old school house, now converted into a dwelling) and a restaurant. Most of the older properties were built by the Berkeley family who once owned much of the land.
One of the farms in the hamlet still has a working wind pump in use today which is over one hundred years old.
