I visted Shaftsbury 20 years ago, during a tour of beautiful Dorsetshire, mainly to see this famous hill--and the magnificent view from the top, of course. Finding it then, wasn't over easy, I was very surprised to learn that the access was via a narrow entrance out of the High Street, almost hidden away. I also visited nearby Sherborne, and, even today, I get mixed up with both these charming historic towns.

Ever since I was a kid I really wanted to visit England. I first heard the word England when some elders were talking about Lady Diana. Since then I have always dreamt of visiting England.... I just wish someday my wish will come true no matter even if I become old...My wish will be to visit only England. Love from India.

[@rutjeisbri3475]

I'm sure you'll fall in love with England once you visit... there lies a beauty only those who loved it without seeing will understand. I have been too many times, never to the same place... do visit, and don't wait to get too old because you'd want to go back again and again. I was lucky to see Princess Diana getting out of Buckingham Palace back in 1988... she was more beautiful than any picture could tell... and her smile so beaming and touching our hearts... I will never forget it.

Surely I will one day before getting old. I have never been to England but my heart says I will definitely love it. You are so lucky to see Lady Diana. My mum still see her picture in KZbin and said she was the most beautiful ever.

[@Templemain]

Brings so many childhood memories to my old eyes. I was born in Cleethorpes Lincolnshire but spent my life traveling the world for sixty years & returned to England only as a visitor a few times. Why? very long story but suffice to say I miss the old English village that cannot compare with the skyscrapers of Shanghai, the great ports of Qingdao or the cultures of Beijing, the white sands of Australia, the magnificent mountain ranges of New Zealand, the amazing grand canyons, cities of America but still I miss my old home and the simple ways I was born to. Memories I can not get back!! I revisited England with my Chinese wife a couple of times and while the buildings, roads & beaches where exactly as I remember them some thing was missing! Take my advise. Keep your memories in your self. NEVER try to reenact them or you will suffer great disappointment. Bless you all from a disillusioned long haul traveler.

​@@michaelholdsworth6117 You are right, it is Dvorak's New world symphony, but music itself is about un-English as you can get. Dvorak wrote is symphony to reflect the different styles of music to be found in the New World. This particular piece, from the second Movement was written to emulate the Negro Spirituals of the south. It is often thought that Dvorak lifted this piece from an existing tune, but it is an original piece. The song going home were added much later.
