Wick (Welsh: Y Wig) is a small village and civil parish which, since 1996, has been located in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales. It is situated about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the coast. The closest towns are Llantwit Major, Cowbridge and Bridgend. In 1996, when the principal areas were introduced, Wick was transferred from Mid Glamorgan to the Vale of Glamorgan despite the Vale of Glamorgan being considered to have been part of South Glamorgan. For a definition of "principal area", see the Wikipedia article. A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Wick from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
