St Peter's Church is the oldest church in Shaftesbury, located at the top of the famous Gold Hill, right next to the ruins of Shaftesbury Abbey. It is a key historic building and a prominent part of the town's landscape. St Peter's Church was originally built in the 14th century to serve pilgrims visiting the nearby Shaftesbury Abbey. Due to economic hardships, such as the Black Death, its construction was prolonged, resulting in a mix of architectural styles, including Decorated and Perpendicular Gothic. The lower part of the tower is the oldest section of the current building. The nave and its arcades are from the 14th century, while the clerestory and the panelled oak roofs were added in the 15th and 16th centuries. The church also features a crypt under its south aisle. Decline and Restoration: By the late 19th century, St Peter's fell into disuse and disrepair. It was even used as a grain store during World War II. In 1971, it was officially declared redundant. However, a major restoration effort was launched by local groups, and in 1977, it was rededicated and became the parish church of Shaftesbury once again. It was the first church in the country to be re-established as a full-time parish church after being declared redundant.

Nice place to stop for coffee and 🍰

Tip: We have been here three times over the last few years and each time we managed to get a table in the café at the top of the street. One of the most beautiful views in England is made even more beautiful with cream tea or another treat! Here you sit quietly and just wait until no one is in sight: and then quickly take your dream photo! In addition, the service is friendly and the prices are not too high. The view of Gold Hill is nowhere better than from here.

Pretty church, surprisingly bright on the inside (simple glass windows). Usually open to visitors all day

This hill has a wiggle in it.

Don't forget to take in Gold Hill whilst youre in that area!!

This is a horrendous bit of road. If you are going top to bottom, the road at the end is at a lethal angle to the main road. Google ‘constant bearing decreasing range’ and that will tell you everything. I’d avoid it like the plague if it were me.

St Peters is the most ancient of all the churches in Shaftesbury and stands in the High Street. The registers date from 1623. It was built in the latter part of the 15th century.

An iconic hill made famous by the Hovis adverts.

Free water refill point, very useful on a hot dayv

Lovely road that follows the River Ebble. From the A30 in the west, through Berwick St. John and Ebbesbourne Wake to Broad Chalke in the east.

A good example of a 14th century church that has had little alteration over the last 500 years.

A small historic market town in Dorset. With origins going back to the Saxon times. Several cafe's and shops in the high street. We like Gold Hill café at the top of the famous Gold Hill cobbled street (separate highlight).

Features in the 100 greatest road climbs list (UK) along with Gold Hill in Shaftsbury so the two make a great loop. 93m height gain 2km distance and max of about 6% gradient.

beautiful picturesque town with lots of resupply options. Well worth a stop on your ride here.

Feels like you're in real Glastonbury territory here! keeps the riding interesting with sculptures like these!

Now closed, maybe try one of the other resupply options.

Divine little valley, generally super quiet and lush views everywhere.

Divine road, generally quiet with lovely views either side of you.
