About Us
Wick Farm is a working farm which once belonged to the Lacock Abbey Estate, with a barn dating back to the 15th Century. Situated in a very quiet spot 1.5 miles from the National Trust Village of Lacock, it has its own lake 'Silverlands', well known for coarse fishing, notably Carp, Bream and Tench.
Lacock Abbey, a thirteenth century Nunnery, eventually became the home of William Henry Fox Talbot, a pioneer in photography and there is a Museum of Photography at the Abbey. Today Lacock is famous for being the venue for many period drama productions, most notably 'Pride & Prejudice' and 'Moll Flanders'. Lacock is ideal for visiting the City of Bath, or the historical houses of Corsham Court, Bowood House, Longleat and Stourhead. Three of Wiltshire's famous White Horses carved into the chalk hillside are close by, and worth a visit.
There are several Golf Courses nearby and in the market town of Chippenham just 5 miles away there is a Sports Centre offering various facilities including a health suite. The surrounding countryside of course, gives excellent walking opportunities.
