Wicken Northamptonshire Map

About Wicken

Wicken, a quiet corner of Northamptonshire, holds its own gentle spirit. It lies 7.2 km north-east of Buckingham (from Buckingham: bearing 43°T, OS grid SP 745 393), and is situated west of Deanshanger village. Fields, like swathes of soft green velvet under a sky that often holds a pearly sheen, surround Wicken, their boundaries marked by ancient hedgerows. The air here, especially after a rain, carries the clean scent of damp earth and the distant murmur of country roads. The old cottages, their stone weathered to a warm, muted grey, seem to breathe a quiet history, their roofs catching the low sun like burnished shields. A sense of peaceful continuity pervades the lanes, where the rustle of leaves in the breeze is often the loudest sound.
