Wotton-under-Edge is a market community within the Stroud area of Gloucestershire, England. Located near the southern edge of the Cotswolds, the Cotswold Way long-distance walkway passes through the community. Depending on the B4058, Wotton has to do with 5 miles (8.0 km) from the M5 freeway. The closest railway station is Cam and Dursley, 7 miles (11 km) away by road, on the Bristol to Birmingham line. The community is relatively well served for a community of its dimension. It has several bars and also a hotel, and a series of takeaways as well as dining establishments. It can be rather vibrant at night compared to lots of others of its size. It has a number of energetic social teams, such as Scouts, Guides, a horticulture club as well as the Wotton Lions. In 1958, local people as well as college pupils developed the town swimming pool, which was completed in 1961. Subsequently the swimming pool has had solar as well as electrical home heating installed. In 1999 with the fund elevating support of area teams, a retracting room was fitted to extend the swimming season. In 2002, adhering to the closure of the neighborhood cinema, a team of volunteers elevated funds for a repair to become one of the initial electronic movie theaters in the UK. It re-opened in 2005 as a 100-seat facility inside an old stable lawn, once part of the Crown Inn which closed in 1911. Films were first shown in the old Banqueting Hall of the Inn and transferred to the steady backyard some years later, because of the appeal of movies. The Wotton Electric Picture House (the original name) is now a prospering location.
