Gold Hill is one of the most beautiful streets in the world: what it is known for and interesting for tourists
The small British town of Shaftesbury in Dorset is located just 3 hours from London. Locals choose this place because of its affordable housing prices and incredible natural scenery.
Additionally, it is here that you can find Gold Hill, a 200-meter-long street recognized as one of the most beautiful in the world. Information about this place is shared in MyLondon.
It is noted that locals associate this street with an old Hovis advertisement in which a delivery boy carried fresh bread. However, for tourists, Gold Hill Street is a place where you can still see remnants of a mysterious and remarkable medieval past.
The ruins of Sheftesbury Abbey, which was one of the most influential in England until the 16th century, have been preserved here. Today, this place offers thematic tours, during which visitors can learn about its famous history.
Besides, travelers can visit Cranborne Chase, which is located not far from the village. This place is considered an area of natural beauty, where you can go on a hike or bike ride.
