Abbotsbury Swannery to St Catherine's Chapel | Walk With Me | Jurassic Coast | Dorset

With views of Chesil Beach and surrounded by many hundreds of acres of lush green, English Countryside this very short walk is ideal if you are visiting Abbotsbury and its Swannery.
The walk takes us from Abbotsbury Swannery to St Catherine's Chapel. I will tell you a little bit about the history of the chapel and take you inside to bathe in the light of the sun pouring in to this ancient building, which is an oasis of calm.

    What a cracking little walk. The chapel was well worth visiting & the views from up there were superb. Thanks Louise.

    I drove past the chapel a few years ago, but didn't have time to stop. Now I know what I missed. What an incredible building.

    Another great video Louise! I have seen the chapel from the Swannery but never walked up to it before. I loved hearing the birdsong in the video. Fantastic explore of this interesting chapel and wonderful scenery en route. Really enjoyed this! Paul

    Morning Louise just watched my Sunday special and my two favourite lines from today are “it’s Steep but not steep, if you know what I mean” with your usual giggle thrown in😂😂😂and then “it’s so calm and still in here apart from the flies buzzing”😂😂😂oh Louise you never fail to make me smile👍comedy genius

    Good morning Louise. I wondered when you were going to show this one, after telling us you were going to/had done so, when you visited the swannery. Prior to that we went to the Abbotsbury Gardens, but looking up towards the Chapel, decided it was too steep for us oldies. So thank you for showing us.

    We stopped in Abbotsbury on our way to Kilkhampton in 2023. Strolled through the wee town ( or is it a village?) and enjoyed a scrumptious tea and scones behind the old school in the Tea Rooms/Garden. We didn't have time for the chapel- what a shame. Just like we didn't stop for the swannery. There is so much more to see here. Oh how gorgeous. Glad to still have seen this lovely chapel- sorry we didn't take more time to explore. Those views are stunning. Thanks for this lovely video. Have a great week. 👌🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

    Such a lovely video Louise. The walk and the views. The chapel is incredible. I really love this coastline. Must do the open top bus next visit. Are dogs allowed to travel on there?
