About Shaftesbury
A small market town situated on the north Dorset border, Shaftesbury is steeped in history dating back to the Saxon times. The town is home to Gold Hill (made famous by the Hovis advert) and has magnificent countryside views over the Blackmore Vale.
The beautiful surrounding Dorset countryside is complemented by the splendid historical buildings which make up the centre of Shaftesbury. Shaftesbury benefits from local facilities including many delightful pubs, restaurants and hotels, plus independent retailers and supermarkets.
Shaftesbury is known as the gate way to the South West, but also has good road links to Bath, London and the Jurassic Coast. Neighbouring town of Gillingham has a main line train station giving easy access to London and Exeter.
Shaftesbury has an abundance of community spirit, and many events including the country and farmers markets, Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show and the ever-popular Shaftesbury Carnival.
