Park Walk Viewpoint - Shaftesbury, Dorset - Scenic Overlooks on Waymarking.com

"Panorama of the view over the Dorset Hills south of Shaftesbury from Park Walk, near to the ruins of the abbey. This is a popular walk, especially in the summer months with many people taking a leisurely stroll around the abbey walls or simply sitting and watching the distant landscapes.

The Park Walk in Shaftesbury, which runs along the old abbey walls and offers fantastic views over the Dorset hills. It is easy to see why authors such as Thomas Hardy fell in love with the area (he called Shatesbury 'Shaston' in his novels). The slope just beyond the hedge descends to Gold Hill, ending in a buttressed wall. There are narrow gardens that line the south side of the walk, with benches to rest upon and admire the view. To the north is the Gold Hill Museum & Gardens which contains the remains of the ruined abbey."
