One of Britain's most majestic ruins, this 1,000 year old castle
dominates the skyline of the Isle of Purbeck. The castle has an eventful
history, being an important stronghold since the time of William the
Conqueror. However, the castle has not just fallen into disrepair: in 1646,
following a lengthy siege, Parliamentarian forces were ordered to destroy
the building, leaving the ruins we see today. Learn more about the
fascinating lives of the castle's past residents at Castle View family
exhibition centre, a short walk from the castle. Also nearby is ancient
Corfe Common and Creech Grange Arch, a folly with spectacular views.
