Wick Court

Product Description

Wick Court, is like nothing else we have ever seen, in terms of a holiday property! This handsome & unique building is situated at the end of a mile long lane, tucked within a bend of the River Severn, has its own moat and is surrounded by 140 acres of stunning English countryside. It is believed that the Court has a history dating back toC 1480, but of particular interest is the fact that there was a Royal visitor, Queen Elizabeth I, who stayed here when she was forced to leave nearby Berkeley Castle. Today the property is run as a charity (Farms for City Children) providing children with the opportunity to learn about where food comes from, the importance of caring for animals & the land & the value of working co-operatively as a team. (quoted from the Farm for City Children website). The property is unusual but it is ideal if your party is large, plus all proceeds go back to the charity (see below) which is for an excellent cause. The accommodation is basic but it is fun - after all when was the last time you slept in a bunk bed?ACCOMMODATIONGround Floor Large working kitchens, fully equipped to cook for the 40 strong party Dining Rooms
