File:14 And 15 Gold Hill - Shaftesbury (7247927412) (cropped).jpg
A visit to the town of Shaftesbury, home of the Gold Hill.

This is the famous Gold Hill in Shaftesbury. It was at this location that Ridley Scott directed his Hovis advert in the early 1970s. It featured a boy dragging a bike up the hill loaded with loaves of bread.

Perched on a hilltop with extensive views over the gentle undulating Blackmore Vale, Shaftesbury is one of England's most scenically located and charming historic market ...

Cottages down the hill.

On the right is 14 and 15 Gold Hill. Grade II listed.
