Abbotsbury Swannery swanherd David Wheeler shows how the swans are given a helping hand with their nest building.

Abbotsbury Swannery near Weymouth is one of the most popular attractions for families visiting Dorset. Located on the coastal Fleet lagoon, this unique natural wildlife habitat is also popular with film makers. It has been used as a location for Harry Potter filming.
So if your family is looking for unusual things to do on holiday in Dorset, take a trip to the Swannery and help hand feed 600 swans at 12.00 noon and 4.00pm daily, or get lost in the giant maze (the largest willow maze in Dorset), swing on the swinging nests play area, at the Kennels café or browse the quality gift shop. Parking is free!
