Situation

The picturesque hilltop market town of Shaftesbury is known for the steep cobbled street of Gold Hill made famous after featuring in the popular 1970s TV advert for Hovis bread. The ancient cobbled street runs beside the Grade I listed walls of the ancient Shaftesbury Abbey built by King Alfred the Great. The Shaftesbury Abbey Museum brings to life the story of Saxon England’s foremost Benedictine nunnery which acted as the catalyst for the prosperity of the town and surrounding area for over 650 years until it was destroyed on the orders of Henry VIII in 1539. Today, Shaftesbury is a delightful, community-oriented town with a thriving high street and array of amenities. The area has an excellent choice of local state and independent schools. Shaftesbury is well connected by road to Gillingham, Salisbury, Sherborne, Warminster and Yeovil, as well as to the south coast. Its proximity to the A303 makes London accessible for the motorist. Railway stations at Gillingham (4.5 miles) and Tisbury (8 miles) offer frequent, mainline services to London (Waterloo) and the west country.
