Gold Hill, famous as the steep cobbled backdrop for the 1973 Hovis Boy on a Bike advert filmed by a young Ridley Scott, remains as picturesque as ever and full of quaint cottages.
After a walk up/down Gold Hill itself, pop into the Gold Hill Museum at the top of the hill set in two historic buildings - a priest house and traders lodging for the local market. With views over Blackmore Vale, made famous by Robert Hardy, eight galleries tell the story of Shaftesbury from the days before the foundation of the town and Abbey in the 9th century.
Gold Hill And Museum is great for all ages, but perhaps a little overwhelming for the very youngest visitors
Forget the coach and take a walk to:
