Dursley is a small market town and electoral ward in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the western edge of the Cotswolds. It has a compact historic centre of stone buildings and independent shops, with the River Cam nearby and ready access to attractive walking country in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Historically the town grew from its market origins into an engineering and manufacturing centre - most famously home to R A Lister & Co, makers of engines that shaped the local economy - and since the decline of heavy industry the area has diversified into light industry, services and local retail. Community life is lively for a town of its size, with regular markets, local events and active civic groups that help maintain a strong local identity within the wider Stroud district.
