Description
More famous than the Abbotsbury monastery ruins is the Swannery, founded in 1393 and now home to almost 1,000 birds. Although swans were eaten as a culinary delicacy at royal banquets until as recently as the 1950s, it is now the lagoon's oysters which enjoy particular popularity among gourmets.
