Abbotsbury Swannery is the only place in the world where you are able to walk through the heart of a colony of nesting Mute Swans. A visit to this beautiful place is considered to be one of the best things to do in Dorset.

New for 2024 Abbotsbury Swannery have teamed up with Brambly Hedge to create a story trail for children and families.
Brambly Hedge is a collection of children's stories & illustrations that follow the lives of a community of self-sufficient mice who live in Brambly Hedge.
The trail at Abbotsbury Swannery includes stamp points, characters to meet and an activity booklet. Don't miss the new trail, running alongside the daily mass swan feeds, willow swan maze and pedal go-karts.
