Shaftesbury...<br />
The hilltop town of<br />
Shaftesbury, at 700ft, is<br />
<strong>Dorset</strong>’s highest town<br />
and offers stunning views<br />
over the surrounding<br />
countryside.<br />
Its unique location inspired<br />
Kings to settle here; its<br />
Saxon Benedictine Abbey<br />
was founded in 888AD by<br />
King Alfred. Soak up the<br />
atmosphere in the Abbey<br />
ruins or stroll the cobbles<br />
of one of England’s most<br />
iconic streets, Gold Hill,<br />
famous by virtue of a loaf<br />
of bread!<br />
