LOCATION
Nestled in the gently rolling countryside of northeast Essex, the village of Wix is a peaceful and picturesque spot that offers a delightful blend of rural charm and historical character. Situated between the towns of Harwich and Manningtree, Wix is part of the Tendring district and boasts a close-knit community with a deep-rooted sense of place as well as offering easy access to local mainline stations within 5 miles linking to London within 55 minutes.
The village's name, believed to be derived from the Old English word wic, meaning a farm or settlement, hints at its long history. Evidence of habitation in the area dates back centuries, and this heritage is reflected in the architecture and layout of the village. At its heart stands the 12th-century Church of St Mary, a Grade II* listed building with a distinctive round tower - a relatively rare feature in English churches.
Wix retains a strong rural character, with surrounding farmland and open spaces contributing to its tranquil atmosphere. It's an ideal setting for walkers and nature enthusiasts, with several footpaths and bridleways crisscrossing the countryside.
Despite its small size, the village has a welcoming community spirit. It offers amenities such as a local primary school, a village hall that hosts various events and clubs, and the popular pub, The Waggon at Wix, which serves as a social hub for residents and visitors alike.
With its rich history, serene environment, and easy access to the wider Essex and Suffolk regions, Wix is a hidden gem for those seeking a slice of traditional English village life.
