Abbotsbury, West Dorset - a traditional West Country village
Dating back to 1006 - when the village was given to Orc by King Canute -
Abbotsbury, with its historic stone buildings, thatch and slate roofs is an extraordinarily picturesque and attractive traditional Dorset village
and offers a surprising amount for the holiday visitor to explore and enjoy, including:
- streets lined with cottages dating from the 16th and 17th century, virtually all of which are listed buildings
and many incorporating stone fragments from the (now-ruined) Abbey - from which the village of Abbotsbury takes its name
- nearly 20 art galleries, artists' studios and craft workshops (including a pottery and a Crafts Council-approved wood gallery)
- the world-famous Abbotsbury Swannery - one of Dorset's top tourist attractions
- the Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical Gardens, featuring plants and trees from all over the world, in a beautiful woodland setting
- traditional Dorset tea-rooms, 2 pubs and a restaurant
- gift shops, a butcher, general stores and a post office
- the ancient St Catherine's Chapel, perched on the top of the hill above Abbotsbury, with stunning views of nearby Weymouth and the Dorset World Heritage Jurassic Coast
- Abbotsbury Parish Church
- The enormous 15thC Tithe Barn - one of the largest thatched buildings in the world - incorporating a Children's Farm
Situated on the Dorset coastline, behind the amazing Chesil Beach, Abbotsbury is often - quite rightly, we would say - described as the 'jewel in the crown of West Dorset'.
Dorset itself - within easy reach of London - has all the charm of the other West Country counties,
without the sheer hordes of summer visitors which overwhelm Devon, Somerset and Cornwall.
We look forward to seeing you soon and know that you will enjoy your holiday as much as we enjoy living here!
