Abbotsbury Swannery

Abbotsbury Swannery is a 600-year-old swan colony in Dorset, England. It is on the beautiful Fleet bay, which is part of the Jurassic Coast. Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

The swannery is known for the birds that live and hatch there. About 1,000 pairs of swans make their nests here every year, and visitors can watch as the cygnets hatch and their parents take care of them.

Visitors can get close to the swans, learn about how they eat, and even feed them by hand during interactive feeding events.

Guided tours are a great way to learn about the past of the swannery, the life cycle of the swans, and the conservation efforts that are in place. The area is full of wildlife, which makes it a great place to watch birds and take long walks along the Fleet lagoon.

Abbotsbury Swannery gives visitors a fun and educational way to connect with nature and learn about the beauty and value of swans…
