Tips
This tiny chapel occupies a magnificent location above the Dorset village of Abbotsbury. Thanks to its height, it has fantastic views across the sea and across to the Isle of Portland. Most likely dating back to the 14th or early 15th century, it was built as a retreat for the local monks at the abbey in Abbotsbury.

Pretty - and very photogenic - little medieval chapel. From Chapel Hill also has a beautiful panoramic view.
