A tiny village and civil parish in the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire, Wing is mostly neglected by those who pass by to get to Ascott, a stately home found at the edge of the village. As lovely as it is to visit Ascott, the village you pass through is also worth the stop.

If you want to see some flowers in Wing, you can take a look at the many walks around the village. There are also several events you might want to check out. Or, if you want to have a great time, why not visit some of the pubs and clubs in the area?

As small as the village may be, there are lots of ways to find something fun to do.

History

The remains of the Church show that Wing has an Anglo-Saxon history. However, there is evidence that it stretches far back. Archaeological digs are being carried out by The Wing Heritage Group to make sure that the heritage of the village is properly recorded and protected.

Wing rose to prominence during the 20th century when discussions were made of a possible new London airport to be constructed in town. However, a campaign was run called “Wings Off Wing” and it was a successful one at that. As a result, the Heathrow Airport was expanded instead.

Activities

Nature lovers will surely love the local walks in town. There might even be a sight of Wing flowers or two.

Thanks to the Aylesbury Ramblers Association, new waymarks were put around the 25 miles of field paths in town.

Attractions

The main attraction in town is the Saxon church, which has been called as one of the best in England. A monastery church existed as early as the 7th century, but evidence proves the site was used for religious purposes as far back as that. The crypt is one of the oldest parts of the church and features Roman tiles in its ceiling from a nearby villa.

Another nearby attraction is Ascott, a Grade II listed building featuring astonishing collections and gardens. The Jacobean-style house was the property of the Rothschild's towards the end of the 19th century. Here, you will find paintings, fine furniture and lovely oriental porcelain. The gardens are also a lovely mix of formal and natural and features specimen trees, shrubs and some unusual features.
