Corfe Castle is one of Britain's most spectacular ruins, the castle controlled the gateway through the Purbeck Hills and has been an important strategic stronghold since the time of William the Conqueror. During the Civil War the castle fell to treachery from within, and was substantially destroyed by the Parliamentarians.
Why not allow time to visit the Castle or to try one of the many pubs or restaurants.
The walks start from the National Trust Visitor Centre car park in Corfe Castle, which is located on the A351 halfway between Wareham and Swanage, on the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset. By bus, take the Wilts & Dorset 142 or 143 Poole to Swanage services.
