Shaftesbury was mentioned in Domesday as Sceptesberie and is an ancient hill town settled by the Saxons. It is situated on the main A30 road near to the Wilshire border and is one of the oldest and highest towns in England. In the 9th century the Abbey was built, a Benedictine nunnery, founded by Alfred the Great. Shaftesbury's name seems to derive from 'Sceaft's fortified place' and the town is built on the edge of a plateau with fine views over the Blackmoor Vale.
There are many attractive 18th century houses in amongst the climbing streets and the local museum at the top of Gold Hill has all sorts of artefacts from times past. Gold Hill is famous for being a steep cobbled street. The town has a market held on Thursdays.
