St Catherine's Chapel is a small chapel situated above the village of Abbotsbury in Dorset.
It is thought to have been built in the first half of the 15th century as a pilgrim chapel for Abbotsbury Abbey. Its position on the top of a hill about 260 ft high, overlooking the coast
from Portland Bill to Bridport, meant that it was a prominent feature for seafarers.
