Castle Gardens

Shaftesbury | Dorset

DESIGNED AND BUILT BY BLUE CEDAR AND MANAGED BY COGNATUM

Superb position close to town centre and with fabulous views across the Blackmore Vale

Shaftesbury has many attractive 18th century houses in amongst the lanes and streets and the local museum at the top of Gold Hill has all sorts of artefacts from the past. Gold Hill is famous for being a steep cobbled street.

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 Wiltshire 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.

Cotswold Gardens

Broadway sits at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment in a beautiful landscape with the main high street running gently down the final slope to meet the green by the Lygon Arms Hotel. It is full of handsome eighteenth century houses set back from the road built in mellow Cotswold stone with a honey coloured texture creating a picture postcard world. Broadway Tower at the top of Broadway Hill affords fine views across the Vale of Evesham and on a fine day many counties can be seen.
