Wyck (Wick) Rissington is a village and parish in the picturesque Cotswold hills of Gloucestershire, England. The village is located 1.5 miles north-east of Bourton-on-the-Water. The name 'Wyck Rissington' translates from the Saxon as "A building of special significance on a hill covered with brushwood".〔http://www.twistedtree.org.uk/Deerhurst_dragon.htm〕 Wyck is one of four Rissington villages along with Great, Little and Upper Rissington. == Local features and characteristics == The village is spread out along a long central village green of about half a mile from end to end. It is regarded as being an unspoilt Cotswold village with a number of attractive traditional-style Cotswold stone dwellings. Other features of note include a duck pond and Victorian drinking fountain, both situated on the village green. Stone House Garden is a notable local garden which is open to the public by appointment.() There is a village hall, which was built recently of traditional Cotswold stone and hosts a range of community events.〔http://www.grcc.org.uk/village_halls/569-Wyck_Rissington_Village_Hall〕 The long-distance Oxfordshire Way footpath runs through part of the village. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wyck Rissington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
