Welcome to Wix

Wix is a village in North East Essex

Formerly an important crossroads on the route to Harwich, it has now been bypassed by the A120 road.   
The name is the plural of the 
Old English 'wic', meaning a dairy farm.[2]
There is one pub, The Waggon at Wix, a post office and general stores in Colchester Road, the Equestrian Centre in Clacton Road and Anglian Timber.

Also home to Wix Equestrian Centre first established in 1987 - started out as a small family-run business, now has two indoor show arenas.
