Lower Wick is a suburb of Worcester situated to the south-west of the city. Lower Wick is located to the south of St. John's and to the west of the River Severn. It is primarily composed of a 1960s housing estate made up of roads with a Canadian theme to their names, but there is a newer 1990s housing development where the roads are named after bird species. Bennetts Farm is a tourist attraction in Lower Wick next to the River Severn where ice cream is produced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Bennetts- the taste of a traditional ice cream )〕 Much of the Battle of Worcester, the final battle of the English Civil War in 1651, took place where the farm is today. The tree in which King Charles II is famously thought to have hidden stood in between Lower Wick and Powick by the River Teme. Lower Wick's location less than 1 mile north-west of the confluence between the Severn and the Teme mean it is often affected by flooding. During the July 2007 floods, all main roads in and out of Lower Wick and St John's were closed due to floodwater. Lower Wick has a golf course and a swimming pool.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Worcester Citizen's Swimming Pool )〕 One of two Churches of Latter Day Saints in Worcestershire is located in Lower Wick.
