Wotton-under-Edge Heritage Centre is a small local museum run by the Wotton-under-Edge Historical Society, housed in a converted fire station in The Chipping. Inside you'll find small exhibitions of local and national historical interest, a library and archive for family history research, and tourist information, leaflets and gifts. The Society also runs free lectures for members, including talks on the nearby Roman site at Wortley and William Tyndale's local connections. It suits anyone curious about the town's past or tracing family roots. There's disabled access at the main entrance, and free parking is available immediately outside at the Chipping Car Park, though there's no on-site toilet or café. Located in Wotton-under-Edge, Stroud, Somerset, with Cam & Dursley station 5.6 miles away, it's a modest stop that pairs well with one of the 21 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
