Abbotsbury, Weymouth, Dorset

This is the only place in the world where you are able to walk through the heart of a colony of nesting Mute Swans. From mid-May to late June, hundreds of fluffy cygnets hatch from eggs in nests on or near the pathways. Do not miss the spectacular mass feeding sessions every day. Sometimes children are lucky enough to be asked to help feed up to 600 swans. Open daily in the spring and summer 10am-5/6pm, winter weekends only 10am-5pm.

We strongly recommend you ring Abbotsbury Swannery before you set off on your family day out, to make sure they are open and to confirm admission prices. It may also be worth visiting the website for Abbotsbury Swannery, www.abbotsbury-tourism.co.uk, to see if there are any special events on the day for which you may have to book a ticket. Please also be aware that if Abbotsbury Swannery hosts birthday parties, this may limit the access in the cafe/restaurant areas.
