Wotton-under-Edge is a small market town in the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, set at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment on the edge of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, about 15 miles south-west of Stroud and 10 miles north-east of Bristol. The GL12 postcode covers the town and the surrounding parishes of the southern Cotswold fringe, including North Nibley, Kingswood, Wickwar, and the villages of the Berkeley Vale below the escarpment. The town has a medieval wool trade heritage and a Georgian commercial character around the Long Street. Wotton-under-Edge was the birthplace of Isaac Pitman, the inventor of the Pitman shorthand system, in 1813. The outer GL12 area includes Wotton Hill and Tyndale Monument above the town, where the monument to William Tyndale, the first translator of the Bible into English, stands on the escarpment above North Nibley. Average house prices in GL12 run above the Stroud district average, reflecting the Cotswold AONB setting and the Bristol commuter catchment.
