Coming from the west, at the top of Abbotsbury Hill, the village is still invisible, nestled
in a valley.
The salt-water lagoon of Abbotsbury Swannery is at the centre right,
with Chesil Beach - one of the great natural wonders of Dorset - stretching to Weymouth and Portland in the east.
St Catherine's Chapel stands above the village, at the top of Chapel Hill.
This is where I go for a walk, nearly every day.

In the past, the fields on the seaward side of Abbotsbury were market gardens, supplying
fresh vegetables for the area.
These days, only two or three old chaps in the village still grow in any quantity, but selling produce
from outside your door is a village tradition.
Being self-sufficient in vegetables ourselves, we sell our excess to tourists & locals alike,
who prefer to buy local, fresh produce, rather than shrink-wrapped supermarket vegetables picked
two weeks ago.
