Geography

The settlement lies north of the A329 road between Bullbrook and Priestwood and is approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north-east of Bracknell town centre. In contrast to these areas Wick Hill was built as privately owned, largely detached, housing.

The area includes Wick Hill House, a residence of 19th-century explorer St. George Littledale,[1][2] since converted to apartments. Other areas of housing are surrounded by the walls of former Edwardian residence built in 1835.

The suburb has a local nature reserve called Whitegrove Copse.[3]
