Wotton-under-Edge is a compact market-centre ward in the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England, sitting below the Cotswold escarpment. The town and surrounding ward occupy a scenic spot on the edge of the Cotswolds, with stone-built streets, easy access to hilltop walks and views across the Severn Vale - the contrast of steep countryside and a lively High Street is a defining geographic feature.
Historically a market and coaching centre, the area retains a strong sense of community with independent shops, traditional pubs, local events and volunteer-run cultural amenities; tourism, small businesses and a commuter population to nearby urban centres all shape the local economy. The ward also includes surrounding villages and rural land, so social life tends to mix village clubs and parish activities with regular town-centre markets and festivals.
