Set in one of England's many beautiful regions, Blackmore Vale,
in the county of Dorset, contains some of the most scenic landscapes
in the country. The Vale is a wide, breathtaking valley primarily
used for dairy agriculture dotted with small villages and farms.
This amazingly detailed image by Chase features Gold Hill, which
is a famous hill and street in Shaftesbury , Dorset. This picturesque,
quaint village of steep cobbled streets is one of England's most
photographed and painted scenes; the village has been featured
on many book covers. St. Peter's Church, one of the few pre-18th
century structures still standing in Shaftesbury, is at the top
of Gold Hill. The ancient street is also adjacent to the walls
of King Alfred's Abbey, another famous landmark in the area.
The region's recorded history dates from Anglo-Saxon times. |
