This brings back memories of when I was evacuated to Shaftsbury in 1940/1. My school was at the bottom of Golden Hill and we had to walk up it to get our lunch served by the 'WVS' Women's Voluntary Service in the building at the top. The railing down the side of the hill had two rails in those days. Us kids rescued a sheep that had got itself wedged under the bottom rail. I used to walk up the hill to wave to my mother who was in the hospital after the birth of my brother. I loved fishing in the watercress beds for red throats and sticklebacks and trying to catch the hundreds of rabbits near our cottage. Sadly we went back to London where the bombing was still going on and nights spent in our Anderson air raid shelter. I'm still here to tell the tale. Thanks for the memories, Simon and Will

I lived here in Shaftesbury, Dorset from March 1990 to April 1991, in the “newer” part of town, on Saxon Spur. My first husband and I moved there from Switzerland as newly weds for the year for him to help facilitate the sales projects of a then brand new Swiss based and owned springs and pressings company in nearby Sturminster Newton. Our first daughter was born in the hospital in Salisbury, Wiltshire in December 1990. We used to frequent the Maypole Inn pub about 30 minutes away, and the Swan Inn pub in Sturminster Newton. The bakery featured in this video in Shaftesbury had the best tasting sausage rolls I had ever eaten, and i miss them to this day. I had a lovely year living in England, and fondly reminisce about Shaftesbury, and our lives then. Someday, I’ll bring my older daughter back there for a visit. Thank you for your lovely video.

Kudos to the National Trust for wonderfully preserving British historical places and villages/towns. The U.K. has so much beauty in its own backyard. Lovely.

What a beautiful, beautiful place! Brought tears to my eyes ❤️

What a charming place. I bet those people that lived there or I guess still live there had some amazing legs from walking up and down those slopping streets.

I'm totally in love with England, it's so epical heritage & watchful for history lovers...the narrow lanes are just perfect to what describes England beauty & adorable preserved treasure of museum... a beautiful & interesting video thanks...👍👍

Hi guys. I m a romanian living in England i i fall in love with your videos one month ago. You both are fantastic. I lnew UK is beautifull but didn t knew how beautiful. I traveled a lot and i m sooo happy that i can discover new places thank to you!

It seems that the old town keeps its historical and classic aspect very well preserved, with no modern inconsistencies. Thanks for the walk.

The old side looks exactly as it looked 200-300 years ago . For sure . Well preserved indeed. Ty very much for this piece of history - I was enjoyed 🌷🌷🌷

Back in the mid / late 1970's when I was at school there, we used to do rugby training running up the hill

The residents get good exercise just going to the store but this is a beautiful peaceful area. Thank you for the videos 🇺🇲

Absolutely beautiful, you can’t beat the old architecture.

You cannot beat the quality of the buildings, scenery, produce and many many more things to go with it from our yesterdays.

Historic, I remember the TV commercial.

Totally love with the England. So epical heritage and watchful for history lovers

I so love your videos!!!! You have a wonderful voice, and a good eye with the camera. Love the quaintness of the villages, and would want to see these places also, but seeing them through your eyes will have to do. Love love love England, and the way your history has been preserved. Thank you.👍🏻😊

That, I believe, is the most beautiful village or town I have ever seen. I must visit the UK before I die. Thank you for a great video.

So glad to know there's still churches in this city. It makes me wanna go back to the past

ياله من جمال ساحر شكرا لجهودكم

This village is astoundingly beautiful. Maybe someday.

What a beautiful town to visit. Thanks for sharing

What a beautiful city.....I Love England...I studied in 1980 in EXEter...it is a histórical city too..thanks for this vídeo...

Just love this town I was born here. I visit every year & going again in 3wks.

I cannot wait to visit England. Originally I’m from Europe and now live in Texas but I’m planning to move back within the next 2 years. Such a lovely video! 👍🏻❤️

Welch ein bezauberndes Städtchen🙏Diese steile Straße ist schon eine Herausforderung, besonders für ungeübte. Aber diese schöne Aussicht entschädigte dann für die Mühe👍Hie4 geht sicher alles noch etwas gelassener und ruhiger zu. Eine Wohltat für das Auge, die entzückenden Häuser, die kleinen Gassen, viel Natur für Großstädter eine Erholung🏡🏘🌳🌲🌳🌲Danke für diese mal wieder wunderschöne Reise🙏🙋‍♀️🇩🇪

Gracias por mostrar este hermoso pueblo...realmente maravilloso

Thank you for yet another excellent tour, this time of Shaftesbury and of course the famous Gold Hill.I remember taking my elderly father there many years ago as it was a place he always wanted to see.He of course was delighted To finally visit.

This village is so lovely!! thanks for sharing🥰

Fantastic, what a place. I recognised a lot of buildings from jigsaw puzzles I’ve done. The area is gorgeous. Thank you so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care

Shaftesbury is one of city in England country which very beauntiful . with wianter natury then quite this history pleace .amazing

Really enjoyed this video. Absolutely gorgeous place. Love the pace of your videos and the tourist information you provide. Would love more on the history of King Alfred the Great (just googled why he was 'great' and it's very interesting and HM Queen Elizabeth is a direct descendent (who knew?) Hoping for a return visit to the UK sometime in the future (!!!!) and your videos keep us inspired! Thank you for sharing! Best wishes from Melbourne, Australia.

Guauuu, precioso todo!!!!!, sin duda cada día me sorprende mas conocer hermosos lugares de Inglaterra. Es maravilloso!!!. Gracias por compartir sus paseos!!!!👏👏👏

Thanks for a good look around this lovely village.

Another lovely tour, thank you. Those little museums are great. I'm always fascinated by old paintings or photos of a place when compared with the present, especially when you can view them side by side. I do have to be careful of The Last Kingdom spoilers here, though. In American schools we don't learn as much about England's royal heritage. I had to learn that on my own, and have forgotten a lot.

AAAHHH!!! BEAUTIFUL !! YES , REMEMBER " THE HOVIS ADVERT " !! LOVELY ! THANKS FOR THE TOUR INNDEED !!FROM U.K. (2021).

Another great video thank you 🐨🦘🐨🦘😷

A really beautiful place though a bit hard on the legs, especially at a certain age...like mine for instance!

Thanks for showing Shaftesbury to the world , I who live here , never get tired of the beauties and culture of my little and magical Shaftesbury , end of the video I saw my street :) Thank you

شكرا لكم مرة اخرى على الترجمة

The famous Hovis ad was directed by none other than Ridley Scott of Alien fame. I remember seeing those ads on tv.

Shaftesbury has always been one of the places I have wanted to visit for years. Now I have done so, and learned a lot about this particular part of Britain, and it's culture and history. Very interesting and so very beautiful. Although I am not so sure about the extremely steep walk down the hill! One would need to be an expert Olympian to negotiate that! Well done indeed again!

Heaven on earth

man as a foreigner myself this place looks amazing, compared to London just pure tainted chaos, like a clear water that keeps getting mixed with all sorts, which then became a muddy water. I mean look at this beautiful place untainted by foreign influences. Please keep these heritages, also the place looks peaceful. I hope and pray for England and their people to restore their culture back.

Yay, glad to see some sourdough bread is being offered in England now. When I left California for grad school in Indiana, I really missed “regular” (sourdough) bread, it’s only available west of the Rockies.

Oiii!Tudo bem com vc?Como eu nunca saí do estado ,é difícil de acreditar que existe lugares lindos assim ,como este que vc mostra Obrigado por mostrar a parte linda do mundo! ,😌😊😃

Cảm ơn bạn chia sẻ nước Anh đẹp giống như một thiên đường rộng mở 👍🙏🤝👍👌

Thank you for the great videography and narration. Please spend more time in pubs, coffee and bakery shops. I love the historical narration. I live in USA which lack of historical places with stone buildings and cobble stone streets. I wish I could migrate to UK.

Sehr schön, Danke! :-)

I love England. I've been so some parts of England but obviously I can't visit all of these wonderful places. Thank you for these videos. Lovely

Such a charming place with calming and picturesque views! Thank you for sharing! I wonder how are they jogging along Gold street? It must be tricky but effective.😁 Hope to see more in the nearest future! 🖐😍

I'm still ashamed to say that all the times I zipped down the 303 home, I never realized the Hovis ad was filmed in Dorset! I don't remember anyone ever saying, weren't filmed Up North - not 'till much later, I don't ever remember visiting Shaftsbury, or Gold St - we always went to the coast. Always a fan of King Alfred, so surprised I'd never been, so glad you've taken me there at last!!

SO lovely and charming!!!!! Very picturesque!

Great job friends!!! awasome videos

How incredibly beautiful! Your filming and narration makes you feel that your there! The bakery caught me eye too. Did you get the almond and raspberry tart (giggle). Thank you so very much.

Luogo bellissimo e magico❤

bello bellissimo posto grazie

My Great Grandfathers home town, the Stainers of Shaftesbury and Motcombe

Great from Bali island idonesia. It was amazinx. 😍

My aunt lives here and let’s just say every time we visit she makes us walk up Gold Hill

Thank you once again!!!

Lovely

Какой старинный уютный город,его стены дышат историей.

As beautiful as an oil painting好き❤️

Thank you for this wonderful tour!!! Love from Vermont

Another great informative vlog. As picturesque as the street looks with those Oldie Beautiful buildings I can’t see myself living there . Walking up and down that hill lugging in shopping a few days a week would not be my idea of fun. I’m afraid the combustion engine has completely spoiled me along with millions of others . Thanks for the uploads.

Been there many many times, well I use to live there, dad still lives in Shaftesbury, but out of 8 friends I was the only one who could reach the bottom to the top of Gold Hill on a mountain bike in the late 80s I was 16 then, peddled in 1st gear all the way up, Also did you know the monastery treasurers are still buried somewhere close, maybe in the hillside, they were hidden because of looters and thieves in a small fight, in the mid 80s there was a tunnel found which had old artefacts in, a lot of mystery in Shaftesbury, thanks for this video, oh and the 70s tv ad was filmed by the famous movie director Ridley Scott, apparently waited 3hrs to get the best shot, he told camera crews to pack away the cameras, within 20 mins he shouted get me a camera now so he shot that ad when the sun was going down…. 👍🏻

Cidade belíssima, amei!Amazônia, Belém do Pará ,Brasil.

Dziękuję za filmik,obejrzałam dwa razy,piękne widoki.Pozdrawiam serdecznie 🇵🇱

Очень красиво, а главное на века сделано!!

I've missed you guys! I love your vlog!

Been to Dorset so often, can’t believe I’ve missed out Shaftesbury….next year for sure!

Very beautiful !!

Really enjoying you lovely guy's series on Scotland, (my partner and I love to get up there too each year) so great to see you visit my home town here! p.s if you walk to the bottom of Gold Hill and turn right you can walk through the lovely village of St James, maybe stopping off at the Old Two Brewers Inn before coming back via the pretty cobbled Stoney Path up to Park Walk and the abby ruins.

What a pleasant discovery this channel is. How you don’t have a million subscribers I am unable to understand

Absolutely beautiful!!

Cela me rappelle des souvenirs heureux. Comme j'ai aimé respirer l'air de l'Angleterre.

Beautiful City!
