Corfe Castle

Very beautiful views, ticket is a bit expensive but still surely worth of visiting. Guided tour is also available, castle is actually ruins of 1000 years old Castle. Rehabilitation work was on progress. Watching the steam railway passing through the meadows and castle was an amazing view. Fabulous day activity .Highly recommended to visit.

Another absolute gem in the National Trust Crown, and following my visit it is certainly in my top favourites for castles absolutely fantastic. Situated on the Purbeck Hills above the Village, these magnificent ruins offer a rich history. The views of the surrounding countryside are magnificent. There is National Trust parking which is free to National Trust members as is the entrance to the castle. Also recommend walking to to the top of the nearby hills and looking back at the castle ruins, village and countryside. This is a must visit.

Great castle! Well maintained by the National trust. Very friendly staff. There was a free tour led by a very knowledgeable man who talked us through what Corte castle would’ve looked like in WW2. Great experience, would definitely recommend for a day trip if you’re in the area. There is parking a short walk away. Tickets needed.

A beautiful ancient ruin to visit with really wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and the village. While it was a little busy when we visited (because it was Easter Weekend), the castle grounds did not feel crowded and it was pleasant to wander around. Getting the tickets to enter was also very quick and easy. Would recommend getting to the castle early mainly to get better parking spots, as those fill up quick (again probably because it was Easter Weekend).

Visit on a calm warm and a clear day. Views are spectacular. Use the car park in the village for the best access. Excellent bakery for picnic just inside the main gate. The information around the ruins is a little basic so best to read up before going to visit. Lots of walks around the site with plenty of options for a drink once you are finished. Best to visit outside the main holiday season too many visitors would spoil the site.
