GLOUCESTERSHIRE AND THE SOUTH COTSWOLDS
Our members live in the Five Valleys of Stroud (including Slad Valley of Cider with Rosie fame), Painswick (the Queen of the Cotswolds), Minchinhampton, with a huge National Trust common famous for its orchids, Tetbury with nearby Westonbirt and Highgrove, Wotton-under-Edge, Dursley and the Berkeley Vale including Slimbridge, not forgetting the River Severn. Read about the Cotswolds.
The Cotswold Way National Trail runs through our part of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its attractive villages and countryside. On a clear day there are wide views from the escarpment over the Severn Vale to the Royal Forest of Dean, the Welsh mountains and the Malvern Hills.

Wotton-under-Edge.org This site has been put together for use by the local community. This encompasses many villages that use Wotton as a commercial, shopping and leisure centre: Charfield, North Nibley, Kingswood, Wortley, Alderley, and Hillesley.
Wotton-under-Edge (Digital Brilliance) Wotton has contours like Venice has canals. Like New York has yellow cabs. When I considered moving to the Cotswold area the first place I noticed on my Ordnance Survey map was Wotton; any place with so many contours, I reasoned, had to be interesting.
