Wotton-under-Edge

Wotton-under-Edge is a market town of 5,600 people (2011) in Gloucestershire near the southern end of the Cotswolds. It is equidistant from Gloucester and Bristol, Cheltenham, Cirencester and Bath, a few miles from the M4 (Junction 18) and M5 (Junction 14).

Understand
This compact town has many older houses and shops and well worth an hour or two of exploration on foot. If you want a town with lots of Cotswold stone buildings, you'll be disappointed, it's more of a Gloucestershire valley town with buildings to match.
