Wotton-under-Edge is a compact market town and civil parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, sitting beneath the Cotswold escarpment on the southern rim of the Cotswold hills. Its compact high street, timber-framed buildings and market-place reflect a long history as a local trading centre, while the parish church and surrounding lanes give a strong sense of continuity with its medieval past.
The town remains lively today, sustained by independent shops, small businesses and an active community calendar of fairs, music and agricultural events; it’s also a popular base for walkers because of nearby trails and viewpoints, notably the Tyndale Monument above North Nibley which looks out over the Severn Vale and the wider Cotswold escarpment. There’s a quietly entrepreneurial local economy alongside a strong community spirit that keeps the town feeling rooted and friendly.
