About Us
We are the third generation of the King family. Philip's grandparents made prize winning cheddar cheeses here in the 1930's and the original certificates are on display in the Cheese House.
Wick Farm is a working arable farm situated in a quiet spot 1.5 miles from the National Trust village of Lacock. There is an historic barn in our courtyard, dating back to the 15th century [part of the trusses as shown on the right] and our lake " Silverlands " is well known for coarse fishing, notably Carp, Bream and Tench. Guests may fish or go for a stroll to see the lake and watch the anglers and the wildlife.
Lacock itself is not only famous for its Abbey and the William Henry Fox Talbot Photographic Museum but more laterly as the setting for T.V. and film locations.The most recent being Cranford and scenes from two of the Harry Potter films.
Lacock caters well for tourists with tearooms, pubs & craft shops.There is a shop for essentials with a post office counter [open 4 mornings a week].The nearest supermarket is Sainsburys in Chippenham which is 4 miles away.
For Walkers & Cyclists only, pre ordered groceries via the internet can be delivered to site. Delivery arrangements need to be made with Sue or Philip King first.
