Shaftesbury is a hilltop town in North Dorset famous for Gold Hill, the iconic cobbled street featured in the Hovis bread advertisement. The town sits 700 feet above the Blackmore Vale with commanding views, and its ancient abbey ruins and distinctive character attract visitors year-round. The local property market serves a wide rural catchment with a focus on independent retail and services.
“Famous Gold Hill (Hovis advert). Hilltop market town. Strong tourism.”
