#Shaftesbury #VisitDorset #BeautifulEngland
Beautiful...love this.... Far from the madding croud... Oh!.. Something is missing....diversity 😏 please keep your England ..ENGLAND.. regards from Ireland.
I lived here in Shaftesbury, Dorset from March 1990 to April 1991, in the “newer” part of town, on Saxon Spur. My first husband and I moved there from Switzerland as newly weds for the year for him to help facilitate the sales projects of a then brand new Swiss based and owned springs and pressings company in nearby Sturminster Newton. Our first daughter was born in the hospital in Salisbury, Wiltshire in December 1990. We used to frequent the Maypole Inn pub about 30 minutes away, and the Swan Inn pub in Sturminster Newton. The bakery featured in this video in Shaftesbury had the best tasting sausage rolls I had ever eaten, and i miss them to this day. I had a lovely year living in England, and fondly reminisce about Shaftesbury, and our lives then. Someday, I’ll bring my older daughter back there for a visit. Thank you for your lovely video.
Thank you for sharing your stories from Shaftesbury, some lovely memories! I have to say I do like your youtube username! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video!
The residents get good exercise just going to the store but this is a beautiful peaceful area. Thank you for the videos 🇺🇲
Indeed no need for gym here!

This brings back memories of when I was evacuated to Shaftsbury in 1940/1. My school was at the bottom of Golden Hill and we had to walk up it to get our lunch served by the 'WVS' Women's Voluntary Service in the building at the top. The railing down the side of the hill had two rails in those days. Us kids rescued a sheep that had got itself wedged under the bottom rail. I used to walk up the hill to wave to my mother who was in the hospital after the birth of my brother. I loved fishing in the watercress beds for red throats and sticklebacks and trying to catch the hundreds of rabbits near our cottage. Sadly we went back to London where the bombing was still going on and nights spent in our Anderson air raid shelter. I'm still here to tell the tale. Thanks for the memories, Simon and Will
Thank you for sharing a vivid memory of your times in Shaftesbury. Fascinating to hear what you were experiencing back then in the town. Very glad you still able to share it! ☺
dear ron, thank you so much for sharing your memories. ♥️
Wonderful
Yes, the secod blitz, by the Doodle Bugs and Rockets, caused another exodus.
@@MrDaiseymay That's when my house was badly damaged by a Doodlebug. Fortunately my mum, brother and myself had gone to Liverpool to an aunts because the doodlebugs couldn't reach there.
Somewhere I have always wanted to visit and paint.
The more I see your videos the more I love all them! Thanks so much!👍 Congratulations!👏👏👏
Thank you! 😃
Hello my friend this video is very nice, many inforlation and stunning footage video :)
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for joining us on the trip!
Historic, I remember the TV commercial.
As beautiful as an oil painting好き❤️
Back in the mid / late 1970's when I was at school there, we used to do rugby training running up the hill
Well that will keep you fit!
@@MemorySeekers Trust me, your calf muscles ached like hell the next day !
Kudos to the National Trust for wonderfully preserving British historical places and villages/towns. The U.K. has so much beauty in its own backyard. Lovely.
Totally love with the England. So epical heritage and watchful for history lovers

The famous Hovis ad was directed by none other than Ridley Scott of Alien fame.
I remember seeing those ads on tv.
I never knew it was him 😊

AAAHHH!!! BEAUTIFUL !! YES , REMEMBER " THE HOVIS ADVERT " !! LOVELY ! THANKS FOR THE TOUR INNDEED !!FROM U.K. (2021).
Many thanks!
That, I believe, is the most beautiful village or town I have ever seen. I must visit the UK before I die. Thank you for a great video.
Hope you get to visit. Thanks for watching.
que preciosidad de pueblo soy una admiradora, de su cultura y su pueblo sajon,me encanta Inglaterra muchas gracias.
Gracias por mirar, me alegro de que la historia sea de su interés. ¡Tenemos muchos más como este por venir!
What a beautiful, beautiful place! Brought tears to my eyes ❤️
@@SECRETORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR Lol they're not sad tears ☺. I guess I'm overly emotional.
Absolutely beautiful, you can’t beat the old architecture.
Very true!
This village is astoundingly beautiful. Maybe someday.
You cannot beat the quality of the buildings, scenery, produce and many many more things to go with it from our yesterdays.
The old side looks exactly as it looked 200-300 years ago . For sure . Well preserved indeed. Ty very much for this piece of history - I was enjoyed 🌷🌷🌷
Many thanks!
What a charming place. I bet those people that lived there or I guess still live there had some amazing legs from walking up and down those slopping streets.
Haha they probably do!
Yeah we do :)
I so love your videos!!!! You have a wonderful voice, and a good eye with the camera. Love the quaintness of the villages, and would want to see these places also, but seeing them through your eyes will have to do. Love love love England, and the way your history has been preserved. Thank you.👍🏻😊
A really beautiful place though a bit hard on the legs, especially at a certain age...like mine for instance!
It seems that the old town keeps its historical and classic aspect very well preserved, with no modern inconsistencies. Thanks for the walk.
Town and Country Planning Act 1948, by the post ward Labour Government. one of the best pieces of legislation ever...
@@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834 Fortunately someone did a good job 👍
This village is so lovely!! thanks for sharing🥰
Thanks for visiting
Welch ein bezauberndes Städtchen🙏Diese steile Straße ist schon eine Herausforderung, besonders für ungeübte. Aber diese schöne Aussicht entschädigte dann für die Mühe👍Hie4 geht sicher alles noch etwas gelassener und ruhiger zu. Eine Wohltat für das Auge, die entzückenden Häuser, die kleinen Gassen, viel Natur für Großstädter eine Erholung🏡🏘🌳🌲🌳🌲Danke für diese mal wieder wunderschöne Reise🙏🙋♀️🇩🇪
Hallo, der steile Hügel ist nicht so schlimm, da man dazu neigt, stehen zu bleiben und sich die Häuser und die Aussicht anzuschauen. Es gibt auch einen Haltegriff. Es dauert nur eine Minute, um hochzugehen, selbst für mich! Es ist eine sehr hübsche Stadt.
شكرا لكم مرة اخرى على الترجمة
Peaceful small country town and breathtaking scenery 😍😍
My Great Grandfathers home town, the Stainers of Shaftesbury and Motcombe
I cannot wait to visit England. Originally I’m from Europe and now live in Texas but I’m planning to move back within the next 2 years. Such a lovely video! 👍🏻❤️
Hello nice to hear from you. Hope your plans work out and you are able to visit some of these lovely places soon!
Where in. Europe are u from?come and see us.
Thank you for the great videography and narration. Please spend more time in pubs, coffee and bakery shops.
I love the historical narration. I live in USA which lack of historical places with stone buildings and cobble stone streets.
I wish I could migrate to UK.
Audie, thank you for the comment and feedback, we are generally not shoppers/coffee shop visitors, but know many people do like to see inside and will try to do more on that. For the pubs, many places we visit it is early morning. We do this so you see more rather than lots of people in the way. So the pubs are usually shut. Funny enough a video coming this weekend does have us having a quick pint in a pub! ☺🍺
What a beautiful city.....I Love England...I studied in 1980 in EXEter...it is a histórical city too..thanks for this vídeo...
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm totally in love with England, it's so epical heritage & watchful for history lovers...the narrow lanes are just perfect to what describes England beauty & adorable preserved treasure of museum... a beautiful & interesting video thanks...👍👍
The same with me...😁👍👋
Me too…😘
Me 3 😁
It's lovely to hear that. I live in SW England in an another quaint saxon town - called Bradford on Avon - it's one of the towns that make up the Cotswolds. There are videos of those too, if this sort of thing interests you.
Can I ask where you guys are from?
@@lightdweller1 sure i have seen videos of cotswold, amazing places.. I have learned about England through 19th century novels & she is still the same beauty unchanged..
I'm from India..
Gracias por mostrar este hermoso pueblo...realmente maravilloso
Great job friends!!! awasome videos
Thank you 🤗
Another great video thank you 🐨🦘🐨🦘😷
Lugar maravilhoso lembrar contas de fadas ,k bom que os moradores não tem permissão de destruir a estética do lugar amei❤🙌
Acho que as residências gostam muito da cidade e continuam como antigamente. Tão amável.
ياله من جمال ساحر شكرا لجهودكم
My aunt lives here and let’s just say every time we visit she makes us walk up Gold Hill
👍☺I am sure you enjoy it!
Thank you for this beautiful visit❤️
What a beautiful town to visit. Thanks for sharing
It really is!
Thank you for this wonderful tour!!! Love from Vermont
Very welcome
So glad to know there's still churches in this city. It makes me wanna go back to the past
Great from Bali island idonesia.
It was amazinx. 😍
Sehr schön, Danke! :-)
Heaven on earth
Cela me rappelle des souvenirs heureux. Comme j'ai aimé respirer l'air de l'Angleterre.
Bonjour, merci pour le commentaire, ravi que la vidéo vous ait fait plaisir !
Thank you for yet another excellent tour,
this time of Shaftesbury and of course the famous Gold Hill.I remember taking my elderly father there many years ago as it was a place he always wanted to see.He of course was delighted
To finally visit.
Good memories!
What a pleasant discovery this channel is. How you don’t have a million subscribers I am unable to understand
Well we hope to get there one day! Thank you for joining us Rabie.
bello bellissimo posto grazie
Yay, glad to see some sourdough bread is being offered in England now. When I left California for grad school in Indiana, I really missed “regular” (sourdough) bread, it’s only available west of the Rockies.
I think it has been around for quite sometime, Do love a good sourdough!
Fantastic, what a place. I recognised a lot of buildings from jigsaw puzzles I’ve done. The area is gorgeous. Thank you so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Glad you enjoyed it, yes this shot is used a lot in jigsaws!
@@MemorySeekers And greeting Cards, I've got one for each of the 4 seasons, 10'' X 8''.
Another lovely tour, thank you. Those little museums are great. I'm always fascinated by old paintings or photos of a place when compared with the present, especially when you can view them side by side. I do have to be careful of The Last Kingdom spoilers here, though. In American schools we don't learn as much about England's royal heritage. I had to learn that on my own, and have forgotten a lot.
I'm still ashamed to say that all the times I zipped down the 303 home, I never realized the Hovis ad was filmed in Dorset! I don't remember anyone ever saying, weren't filmed Up North - not 'till much later, I don't ever remember visiting Shaftsbury, or Gold St - we always went to the coast. Always a fan of King Alfred, so surprised I'd never been, so glad you've taken me there at last!!
The
Guauuu, precioso todo!!!!!, sin duda cada día me sorprende mas conocer hermosos lugares de Inglaterra. Es maravilloso!!!. Gracias por compartir sus paseos!!!!👏👏👏
Hola, gracias por acompañarnos. Me alegro de mostrarte lugares que quizás no hayas visto antes mientras viajamos por el Reino Unido.
@@MemorySeekers es es!!! Maravilloso todo!!!. Gracias. Saludos desde Villa Adelina, buenos Aires, ARGENTINA💜
Oiii!Tudo bem com vc?Como eu nunca saí do estado ,é difícil de acreditar que existe lugares lindos assim ,como este que vc mostra Obrigado por mostrar a parte linda do mundo! ,😌😊😃
Olá, estamos muito bem obrigado. Que bom que gostou do nosso vídeo e mesmo que não tenha visitado, pode ver um pouco do nosso país. Tudo de bom.
Been there many many times, well I use to live there, dad still lives in Shaftesbury, but out of 8 friends I was the only one who could reach the bottom to the top of Gold Hill on a mountain bike in the late 80s I was 16 then, peddled in 1st gear all the way up,
Also did you know the monastery treasurers are still buried somewhere close, maybe in the hillside, they were hidden because of looters and thieves in a small fight, in the mid 80s there was a tunnel found which had old artefacts in, a lot of mystery in Shaftesbury, thanks for this video, oh and the 70s tv ad was filmed by the famous movie director Ridley Scott, apparently waited 3hrs to get the best shot, he told camera crews to pack away the cameras, within 20 mins he shouted get me a camera now so he shot that ad when the sun was going down…. 👍🏻
Thanks for showing Shaftesbury to the world , I who live here , never get tired of the beauties and culture of my little and magical Shaftesbury , end of the video I saw my street :) Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Shaftesbury is one of city in England country which very beauntiful . with wianter natury then quite this history pleace .amazing
Ze beste brot advert from ze ganze welt.
Been to Dorset so often, can’t believe I’ve missed out Shaftesbury….next year for sure!
Glad we found you something new to see!
Really enjoyed this video. Absolutely gorgeous place. Love the pace of your videos and the tourist information you provide. Would love more on the history of King Alfred the Great (just googled why he was 'great' and it's very interesting and HM Queen Elizabeth is a direct descendent (who knew?) Hoping for a return visit to the UK sometime in the future (!!!!) and your videos keep us inspired! Thank you for sharing! Best wishes from Melbourne, Australia.
Meraviglioso posto.
Grazie per aver guardato.
Grazie a te per avermene dato la possibilità
Cảm ơn bạn chia sẻ nước Anh đẹp giống như một thiên đường rộng mở 👍🙏🤝👍👌
Cảm ơn bạn đã xem, lời chào từ London!
SO lovely and charming!!!!! Very picturesque!
Thank you!
Какой старинный уютный город,его стены дышат историей.
Да, конечно, очень исторический город. Как мило!
Cidade belíssima, amei!Amazônia, Belém do Pará ,Brasil.
How incredibly beautiful! Your filming and narration makes you feel that your there! The bakery caught me eye too. Did you get the almond and raspberry tart (giggle). Thank you so very much.
Another place on my list it made me think of the Two Ronnie's
with Ronnie Barker's take on the Hovis Bread add :)
Yes that was such a funny sketch 😂
Very beautiful !!
Thank you so much 😀
I love England. I've been so some parts of England but obviously I can't visit all of these wonderful places. Thank you for these videos. Lovely
Our pleasure!
Lovely
Luogo bellissimo e magico❤
Really enjoying you lovely guy's series on Scotland, (my partner and I love to get up there too each year) so great to see you visit my home town here!
p.s if you walk to the bottom of Gold Hill and turn right you can walk through the lovely village of St James, maybe stopping off at the Old Two Brewers Inn before coming back via the pretty cobbled Stoney Path up to Park Walk and the abby ruins.
Ah thank you for the extra ideas wish we had, had the time to explore more. Next time!
Очень красиво, а главное на века сделано!!
Очень правда!
Спасибо Еленка )))
Such a charming place with calming and picturesque views! Thank you for sharing! I wonder how are they jogging along Gold street? It must be tricky but effective.😁 Hope to see more in the nearest future! 🖐😍
The road is steep but not to bad, it only takes a minute or two to climb up. ☺
I've missed you guys! I love your vlog!
More to come, we just had a little break.
man as a foreigner myself this place looks amazing, compared to London just pure tainted chaos, like a clear water that keeps getting mixed with all sorts, which then became a muddy water. I mean look at this beautiful place untainted by foreign influences. Please keep these heritages, also the place looks peaceful. I hope and pray for England and their people to restore their culture back.
Thank you once again!!!
My pleasure!
it is good for you as it always been.
Another great informative vlog. As picturesque as the street looks with those Oldie Beautiful buildings I can’t see myself living there . Walking up and down that hill lugging in shopping a few days a week would not be my idea of fun. I’m afraid the combustion engine has completely spoiled me along with millions of others . Thanks for the uploads.
It is a pretty hilly town for sure, I don't think I would be able to deal with that either.
it's ok, it's not compulsory, you could always buy a donkey.
Shaftesbury has always been one of the places I have wanted to visit for years. Now I have done so, and learned a lot about this particular part of Britain, and it's culture and history. Very interesting and so very beautiful. Although I am not so sure about the extremely steep walk down the hill! One would need to be an expert Olympian to negotiate that! Well done indeed again!
You don't need to be an Olympian I managed to walk up it and you can use the grab rail. You tend to keen stopping all the time anyway to look at the houses so it doesn't feel too bad at all.
Needn't worry. I'm getting on and have a dodgy hip and I can still do it (albeit more slowly than in my youth). The views of Wiltshire isn't really much of a claim because that county is only a few miles away. I believe you can also see parts of Hampshire on a clear day..... Now that's more impressive.
@@MemorySeekers I took my Camera, and stopped to photograph every other cottage.
Great video, and 'Gold Hill', is very much like 'Steep Hill' in Lincoln albeit not quite as busy.
Gosh Steep Hill looks amazing! We had never heard of it. Now on our bucket list to visit! 😃❤
@@MemorySeekers :-)
Lincoln has a LOT to offer the tourist, plenty to fill a whole day. Make sure you explore the castle, and surrounding area there are hidden gems all around.
Not to mention the best cathedral in the UK !
@@DjNikGnashers thank you for the recommendation i will be doing some further research on this and your advice is very helpful.
I was amazed to see from the film ,far from the maddening crowd Terrance Stamp riding a horse down
Gold hill with troop of soldiers on horse back following .
Brilliant, thankyou !!!
Amazing brother.. Regards joep channel from bali island 😇
