Blackmore Vale by Rod Chase
 E-mail this product to a friend
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 in the county. 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. The annual Gold Hill Fair is a very popular event that raises money for local charities.
