Wotton-under-Edge is a town located at the southern end of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, England.

Wotton was traditionally associated with the wool trade and it is thought that the town's name is derived from 'Wool Town'.

A famous past resident is Sir Issac Pittman, who invented phonography.

Wotton is also home to the engineering company Renishaw, whose business is about a mile from the town centre.
