Situation:

Shaftesbury is a vibrant Saxon market Town which is steeped in history, tradition, and deep community values and 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. The excavated foundations of this once important and influential Abbey lie in a peaceful walled garden, with extensive herb garden and medieval orchard, now one of the many great tourist attractions for Shaftesbury.

The town is the home of Gold Hill (made famous by the “Hovis” advert) and has magnificent views over Thomas Hardy’s Blackmore Vale. Shaftesbury is also the gateway to the South West, from where you can tour the area from Stonehenge to the east, to Bath, and Bristol to the north and the Jurassic Coast to the south as well as the sunny hotspots of Bournemouth and Poole.

Shaftesbury and its surrounding villages attracts creativity, respects its heritage and upholds its values making it a great place to live. The town provides a range of everyday services and shops including public houses, cafes, restaurants, independent and high street shops, a doctor's surgery and a cottage hospital. There are many independent and family run businesses and it is filled with unique and extensive arts and culture experiences.

The local schools are excellent and within easy reach; these include St Mary's School, Clayesmore, Port Regis, Sandroyd, Millfield, Canford, Sherborne School for Girls, St Anthony's Leweston and many highly regarded local state schools.

The communication links in the area are excellent, with the A303 just a few miles to the north providing road access to London & the West and a mainline railway station at either Gillingham (5 miles) or Tisbury (9.3 miles) serving London Waterloo (approximately two hours).
