Poole 27 miles; Bournemouth 31 miles.
One of Dorset’s prettiest and most historic towns, Shaftesbury is perched on a spur of rolling green hills, and the views in all directions are without comparison. Lush green meadows, woodland glades, outstanding architecture and all within walking distance. One of the best vantage points is from Gold Hill (the famous Hovis advert was filmed here) with its quaint, cobbled and very steep street. Visit the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey (once a place of great pilgrimage) or drive through the stunning countryside of Blackmoor Vale down to the coast at Poole, Bournemouth and Weymouth - all under 40 miles away. A beautiful area, that still carries the flavour of the very best of the English countryside.

The location was quiet and a lovely village.
Mr Brocklehurst, Stockport, August 2012
It was a lovely little property and a perfect base from which to explore the surrounding area. It really felt like a home from home and the owner was friendly and helpful.
Mrs Bray, Broadstairs, August 2012
Lots of things to see and visit and beautiful environment.
Mr Bleeker, Oostzaan, July 2012
Great situation and close proximity to Lake Winderemere. Short drive to hills and countryside. Plus the weather was good. What more could we want?
