Our Visit To Gold Hill (aka. Hovis Hill) Shaftesbury - And Gold Hill Museum - 2019
So we stopped off to see this legendary piece of bread-based history on a recent trip near Shaftesbury. Awesome little place. :-)
Gold Hill, Shaftesbury, England - above, on and below the famous hill
For more information about Gold Hill and its location, you might like to visit:
Gold Hill is the most famous view in England, best known for featuring in the famous 1973 Hovis bread advert. Whilst the classic view from the top of Gold Hill is widely recognised, what lies above and below the hill may be a mystery to anyone unfamiliar with the area. This video gives a brief insight to what lies above and below Gold Hill, in a continuous, seamless journey from the top to the bottom - and a little beyond!

Shaftsbury, Gold Hill, England, Uk.
One or two problems getting the right music on here, Ive got it on but nexos owns it and I cannot fade out the ending. It was a dull day so the film is brightened up using Lomo effect - works a treat! If you have not seen the Hovis advert, take a look:
There are a lot of spoofs as well.
I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (
My YouTube site used to be called simbo57 but then Google wanted us to use real names to try to make trolls more accountable so I have reverted to my real name John Simpson. I am not the news reporter or the boxer. To work out who I am please watch my videos. To find out who someone is you need to drill down into their personality and try and find out what makes them tick. This can be interesting!

England Trip - eps 7 Gold Hill
The Happy Camper talks a walk down (and up) England's famous Gold Hill - a steep cobbled street in the town of Shaftesbury in the English county of Dorset. It's been used in many films, including the 1967 film version of Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd. The street is the main setting for the 1973 Boy on Bike television advertisement for Hovis bread, which has been voted Britain's favourite advertisement of all time.

Places to see in ( Shaftesbury - UK )
Shaftesbury is a town and civil parish in Dorset, England. Shaftesbury is situated on the A30 road, 20 miles west of Salisbury, near to the border with Wiltshire.
Shaftesbury is the only significant hilltop settlement in Dorset, being built about 215 metres (705 ft) above sea level on a greensand hill on the edge of Cranborne Chase. The town of Shaftesbury looks over the Blackmore Vale, part of the River Stour basin. From different viewpoints, it is possible to see at least as far as Glastonbury Tor to the northwest.
Shaftesbury is the site of the former Shaftesbury Abbey, which was founded in 888 by King Alfred and became one of the richest religious establishments in the country, before being destroyed in the Dissolution in 1539. Adjacent to the abbey site is Gold Hill, the steep cobbled street made famous in the 1970s as the setting for Ridley Scott's television advertisement for Hovis bread.
The old centre of Shaftesbury is sited on a westward-pointing promontory of high ground in northeast Dorset, on the scarp edge of a range of hills that extend south and east into Cranborne Chase and neighbouring Wiltshire.
Geologically, Shaftesbury's hill mostly comprises Upper Greensand, which is overlain by Lower Chalk in the east. These date from the Cretaceous, with the greensand having been formed in the Albian and early Cenomanian, and the chalk also in the Cenomanian. The greensand is composed of three beds: the oldest and lowest is a layer of Cann Sand, which is found in the lower parts of the town, such as St James and Alcester, that are below the promontory; above this is a layer of Shaftesbury Sandstone, which generally forms the steepest slopes around the promontory, and on top of this is a layer of Boyne Hollow Chert, which is found on top of the hill and on which most of the town is built.
Shaftesbury Arts Centre was established in 1957 and stages a variety of exhibitions, performances, workshops and training courses. Shaftesbury has two museums: Gold Hill Museum at the top of Gold Hill, and Shaftesbury Abbey Museum in the abbey grounds.

Old Wardour Castle Ruins || Shaftesbury, England
The English countryside is dotted with amazing and historic castle ruins, and Old Wardour Castle in the county of Wiltshire, England is no exception. Standing four stories tall, with half of the castle blown away by a previous owner, Old Wardour Castle definitely has some stories to tell. While staying with friends in Shaftesbury, England I had the chance to visit this majestic ruin and climb right to the very top.
Join Marti from Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel as she and her friend Emily explore the castle grounds, the ruins, and the out-buildings surrounding Old Wardour Castle. For more information on the castle's tragic history and its structure, visit Marti's blog and read the post at:
