Have you ever wanted to visit a quiet little village in the English countryside that also has a smattering of history? If you have, Abbotsbury is your goal. This hamlet in Dorset is an oasis of peace, nature, and beauty. With cobbled roads that go through rows of thatched cottages and stone houses, you will never feel like staying indoors. On the water coast known as the Chesil Beach, lies Abbotsbury's crowning glory - the Abbotsbury Swannery. This swannery is the only place on the entire map of the world where you can see a colony of nesting Mute Swans. You can also spend time exploring the St. Catherine Chapel, the Abbotsbury subtropical gardens and the Ilchester Estate. The young ones can enjoy themselves and learn something at the Abbotsbury Children's Farms as well as the Dansel Gallery. The first mention of this village is found as far back as 1023 AD. There is also a Magnolia walk and a seed store in the gardens that you can avail of. There are luxury cottages to rent, as well as a variety of tearooms, pubs, and cafes for you to enjoy.
