Located on a hilltop in Dorset, Shaftesbury is most famous for the cobblestones and cottages of Gold Hill, which was immortalised in a Hovis advert during the 70s.
Gold Hill in the interesting town of Shaftesbury, England
While Shaftesbury has been influential since the days of Roman Brittania, it became one of England’s richest religious establishments when King Alfred ordered the construction of Shaftesbury Abbey in the year 888.
Unfortunately, the abbey was destroyed under Henry VIII during the 16th century, but a venerable stone wall from the original abbey remains standing on Gold Hill. Visit the Shaftesbury Abbey, Museum and Garden Trust for more insights into the town’s Anglo-Saxon and medieval past.
In addition to being a mecca for history buffs, Shaftesbury is a nature-lovers paradise. Scenic overlooks offer panoramic views of Blackmore Vale and the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You’ll see most of Shaftesbury’s historical and natural highlights by following the Shaftesbury Heritage Trail. It’s a really interesting town in England to visit.
