Some of my favourite places to take my little girl - Putlake at Langton Matravers, Farmer Palmer's at Organford. The Otter and Owl Centre is in the New Forest over the border in Hampshire.

Answer: True

This part of the beach also forms part of the 630 mile South-West Coast Path, which runs from Shell Bay through Devon and Cornwall finishing at Minehead in Somerset. Don't let this stop you spending time on the rest of the gorgeous beach though.

Answer: Isle of Portland

I would have called it a peninsula, however Wikipedia says "Portland is ... often incorrectly defined as a peninsula or a tombolo - it is technically a 'tied' island, while Chesil Beach is its tombolo"

Answer: Swans

"Abbotsbury Swannery is unique. This is the only place in the world where you are able to walk through the heart of a colony of nesting Mute Swans."

Benedictine monks founded an Abbey at Abbotsbury in the early 11th century and they farmed swans for food. The monastery was destroyed in the 16th century, but the Swannery remains.
