Abbotsbury
A compact Dorset village near the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, Abbotsbury draws visitors to its swannery, subtropical gardens, and 14th-century St Catherine's Chapel, which stands on a hill between the village and the sea. Chesil Beach runs along the parish coastline, and both the South West Coast Path and Macmillan Way pass through. The village centre is dense with listed buildings and thatched cottages, and a handful of cafés and restaurants serve the steady flow of visitors.
