Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens are a must-visit for any nature enthusiast and those who love a peaceful scenic walk. Stroll through this sheltered woodland micro-climate filled with rare plants from across the world, some dating back to the late 18th century.

With plenty to see, including the Burma Rope Bridge, Lily Ponds and world-famous Camellia groves, this is without a doubt a ‘must visit’ when looking for things to do in Dorset for families.
