Exploring the town of Abbotsbury Dorset, a long village with yellow stone and thatched or slated homes, is a popular tourist destination.
It is home to a famous swannery that has been in operation at least since 1393. It is located about five miles south of the village, on the lagoon formed by the Chesil Bank, and was built by the monastery that once stood just south of the village church and has all but disappeared except for the tithe barn. It presently boasts around 560 swans, as well as a few wild geese and many varieties of duck. Visiting ducks are enticed into a decoy so that they can be ringed and studied for various purposes.
The vaulted stone ceiling of St Catherine's Church, a 15th century seamen's chapel perched on a hilltop, is one of the chapel's most notable features. It is easiest accessed via a road that runs near to the Ilchester Arms in the village centre.
It was the Anglo-Saxon strip and an older "lynchet" culti- vation method that led the terraces on the slope to be formed. The parish church, which was built primarily in the 15th and 16th centuries, contains an excellent early 17th century canopied pulpit, in which bullet holes bear witness to fierce Civil War strife in the area, an unusual plastered chancel ceiling (1638), and an effigy of an abbot of the monastery, which dates from around 1200.
Only fragments of the monastery, which was constructed in 1040 by one Orc, King Cnut's senior steward, and to whom the King had granted the property, can be seen just south of the graveyard, on the other side of the road.
Peacocks, magnificent magnolias, camellias, lily ponds, and various rare plants may be found in the exquisite subtropical gardens, which are about one and a half kilometres to the west. The road that flows beyond them leads to  a location on the Chesil Bank that is popular with seine-net mackerel fishermen, and where, on rare occasions, big sharks, and even a whale, have been brought in.
Abbotsbury Castle, an Iron Age fortification located about one mile north-west of the city, offers excellent views. In addition, the route west north west to Bridport offers spectacular views of the sea, south east to Portland, and west to the enormous cliffs of Lyme Bay, as it passes through low fenced windswept fields to the sea.
