Abbotsbury is a very beautiful village, well appointed with two pubs, an excellent butcher, specialising in local Long Horn beef, art galleries and tearooms. The World’s only Swannery is nearby providing the unique experience of feeding the swans and in May/June admiring the newborn cygnets. The exotic Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens are a magical haven to explore. To the east is the popular seaside town of Weymouth, with its Georgian seafront, 17th century harbour, Sea Life Centre, Punch and Judy shows and donkey rides.
