Gold Hill and Gold Hill Museum, Shaftesbury, Dorset
THIS steep cobbled street is one of the most famous in the world.
It si the main setting for the 1973 Hovis commercial, featuring a boy on a bike struggling up the imposing slope.
At the top of the street is the 14th-century St Peter's Church, one of the few buildings remaining in Shaftesbury from before the 18th century.
Adjacent to the church is the former Priest's House, now part of Gold Hill Museum.
Gold Hill Museum contains exhibits of the 1100 years of the history of the town, and complements the Shaftesbury Abbey Museum.
Gold Hill Museum’s award-winning cottage-style garden, with spectacular views over the Blackmore Vale, offers a delightful haven within the town, where you can sit and relax.
