About

The area of Wotton-under-Edge and Kingswood occupies the western fringe of the Cotswolds, characterised by its position on the steep escarpment overlooking the Severn Vale. The landscape is defined by wooded hillsides, narrow lanes, and stone-built settlements that follow the contours of the land. Wotton-under-Edge functions as a historic market town with a linear layout along its main street, while Kingswood is a smaller village to the north, historically centred around its abbey. The local economy has traditional roots in wool and clockmaking.

The Tolzey, a historic covered market building in Wotton-under-Edge, stands as a focal point in the town centre. The area's geography promotes walking along paths like the Cotswold Way, which traverses the escarpment here. Remnants of the area's industrial past, including old mill buildings, are integrated into the settlements. Community life often revolves around local shops, pubs, and the surrounding farmland, with a noticeable shift in building materials as one moves from the higher limestone areas to the lower valleys.
