Family fun on the edge of Wickford suburbia
The town of Wickford is a pleasant nook in Essex, with a handful of colourful shops, pubs and restaurants. But it's the easy access to some of the county's main attractions that are the main pull for this little town. The Wick Country Park is on the doorstep, offering picnic spots and places to fish and play. Then there's the fully interactive Tropical Wings Zoo, about 10 minutes by car, and the Norsey Wood Wildlife Trail, less than 6 miles away.
