Dursley is a market town and civil parish in southern Gloucestershire, England, situated almost equidistantly between the cities of Bristol and Gloucester. It is under the northeast flank of Stinchcombe Hill, and about 3 3⁄4 miles southeast of the River Severn. The town is adjacent to Cam which, though a village, is a slightly larger community in its own right.

Users can find other people’s rating of a phone number 01453525020, interest in a number in the last year, and, if possible, also the location of a number (for landlines).
