Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This is the hill that appeared in the Hovis television adverts - supposedly in a northern town, but in reality in deepest Dorset! At the top it is about 700 feet above sea level. It is now the scene of the once a year Gold Hill Festival in July.

RE: RE: Hovis Hill

Yes this is Gold Hill where I helped my dad deliver bread that he baked in Hovis tins. Dad was Reg Quinney, we lived in The Bakery, Kington Magna and it was a fantastic place to grow up.
