About This AttractionSuggest an Edit
Home and breeding ground the the only managed colony of mute swans, Abbotsbury Swannery provides a charming day out, with the opportunity to see these graceful creatures up close. They are used to people so permit a close but respectful approach, even when they are nesting with cygnets in the nest. There are many other birds around the grounds too, including pheasants. The swans are all free-flying and the area has also been used for a location in Harry Potter movies, which is sure to impress the kids. Stop for lunch at The Kennels Cafe and the kids can enjoy the play area, giving you time to enjoy the wonderful surroundings the Swannery has to offer.

Had a great family day out here! The eggs might not have hatched yet but it didn't matter as there was still plenty to see and learn about. We visited as the warden was checking the nests so we could ask plenty of questions - in fact all the staff were happy to chat which was great! We even spotted a water vole which was a rare treat! Would recommend following your day out with a visit to the Children's Farm just down the road too.
