I believe the answer is:

low

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a refill' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'turns up in the cotswolds' is the wordplay.
'turns up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'wol' is hidden within 'cotswolds'.
'wol' reversed gives 'LOW'.

'needing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for low that I've seen before include "sound from Hereford?" , "Deep sound made by cattle" , "SECOND PART OF 14" , "Depressed; moo" , "Not elevated, may be base" .)
