Dursley is an old market town in the heart of the Cotswold hills, with its 18th-century market hall, raised on pillars like stilts. Dursley was once a hub of the cloth-making industry that supported so many Cotswold villages and there are many older houses that stand as a testament to Dursley’s former prosperity.
