Dorset Visitor Attractions

Dorset benefits from its wonderful location, its superb coastline with World Heritage Status - the Jurassic Coast - its beautiful countryside with quaint villages, its superb shopping and entertainment facilities in Bournemouth, Poole and other towns throughout the county. Dorset offers just about everything that a tourist or resident could wish for (Okay, well apart from a Mediterranean climate, but that may be coming sooner than you think!).

On top of that, Dorset has a plentiful supply of tourist and family attractions, places of historical interest and plenty of things to do for all the family, even when it's raining!

ABBOTSBURY: between Bridport & Weymouth

ABBOTSBURY SWANNERY

This is the only place in the world where you are able to walk through the heart of a colony of nesting Mute Swans and experience at first hand their way of life.

Cygnets Hatching
From mid-May to late June, see cygnets hatch from eggs in nests on or near the pathways. It is a must see event. Kids get to have a go at feeding the swans at certain times of the day.
