Well worth the walk down the famous Gold Hill (and back up again!) to find this attractive old inn in the lower (St James) part of town. Partly opened out inside to leave a 'L'-shaped bar with various seating areas and a dining room at the back. Refurbished in a light upmarket style throughout. The rear beer garden apparently offers a great view (but not during the rain when I visited...). Five handpumps on the counter, with Doom Bar, Landlord, Butcombe Gold, Sixpenny Brewery 6d Best (£3.30) and Cheddar Valley cider available when I called by.

Further to my review for the Mitre, I've now changed my mind, this pub is better. I never found it on my first visit to Shaftesbury as it's down the bottom of Gold hill but well worth seeking out, several real ales all kept in excellent condition in very pleasant surroundings.
