Abbotsbury, Dorset

Details

Assuming you won't be walking along the Chesil Beach spit but will come inland of the West Fleet water, Abbotsbury will be no more than a half mile detour - worthwhile for a very picturesque village with original crafts including woodwork and pottery. This is a 16th century coaching inn with bar meals (average main course £10) and a restaurant. Beers include Gales HSB, Courage Best, Tribute and Old Speckled Hen.
