Abbotsbury Swannery Zoos
For over 600 years this colony of friendly mute swans has made its home at the Abbotsbury Sanctuary. Sheltered by the famous Chesil Beach, this ancient and special site provides protection for hundreds of nesting swans and their broods.
An audio visual show about the Swannery runs hourly during the day. Families will particularly enjoy the wealth of educational information and the ugly duckling trail.
Incredibly, from the end of May, you can wander safely around the nests, observing at close quarters the antics of the fluffy cygnets.
