Traders once knew the town for its steep, cobbled Gold Hill, but today it makes an easy stop for travellers pausing en route through Wiltshire. Its high vantage point over the Blackmore Vale still rewards anyone willing to climb a little. Settle into one of the local cafes for a slower morning, then choose from the hotels scattered around Shaftesbury for a comfortable base while you explore.
