ST CATHERINE’S CHAPEL

St Catherine’s Chapel, on its hill above the village of Abbotsbury in West Dorset, forms a dramatic landmark and seamark. From a platform of level ground, its ‘fearfully exposed position’ (as Thomas Hardy described it) gives extensive views across the Fleet to Portland, and west across Lyme Bay to Torbay in Devon.
