Shaftesbury Abbey Dorset. Ruins of the Abbey.

On the orders of Henry VIII in 1539 that the Abbey was dissolved. Most of the Abbey precinct was destroyed and it was all but forgotten. Today, the massive ramparts on Gold Hill are all that remain of the original wall that surrounded the Abbey. PAP (Pole Aerial Photography) 45ft
