Shaftesbury welcomes you to this ancient hilltop town.
Steeped in history and tradition, Shaftesbury offers visitors breathtaking views and the warmest of welcomes. The 'Shaston' of Thomas Hardy's novels, Shaftesbury is one of the oldest and highest towns in England and what Hardy called the 'engirdled and secluded' Blackmore Vale.
The beauty of the surrounding Dorset countryside is complemented by the collection of fine, historical buildings that make up the centre of Shaftesbury itself. Gold Hill, made famous by the Hovis Bread advertisement, with its steep cobbles and picturesque cottages is the epitome of rural charm from a previous time.
