Nestling amidst beautiful scenery on the south western edge of the Cotswolds, Dursley is a town full of charm and tradition surrounded by beautiful farming country.
For hundreds of years Dursley existed as a small agricultural community; the constant water supply from The Broadwell, a natural spring, which rises in the town centre, was .probably the reason that people first settled there. The town’s early prosperity derived from the wool trade but following the decline of this industry, the numerous disused mill buildings have gradually been adapted for other uses.
Dursley’s historic past is visible in its pretty winding streets and mix of buildings from different eras.
