Shaftesbury
Perched high on a greensand hill, Shaftesbury is one of England’s oldest market towns, renowned for sweeping views across the lush Blackmore Vale. Take a wander down iconic Gold Hill, the steep cobbled street lined with quintessential thatched cottages. Delve into ancient history among the excavated stone ruins and tranquil herb gardens of Shaftesbury Abbey, founded by King Alfred the Great in AD 888. Nearby, the atmospheric remains of 14th-century Old Wardour Castle offer a romantic afternoon of exploration beside a serene lake. For scenic walks, venture into the rolling chalk hills and ancient woodlands of Cranborne Chase.
