Corfe Castle on the Isle of Purbeck

Corfe Castle is a picturesque village with beautiful old buildings. The ruins of the old castle majestically tower over the village. It was destroyed after withstanding a Cromwellian siege for six weeks: Lady Bankes defended the castle only to be betrayed by one of her own men... From Corfe Castle a steam train leaves to Swanage, unfortunately I missed it so can't show you any pictures here. Below Corfe Castle seen through trees on the way from the visitors parking to the village.
Parking in the village is very limited, visitors should park outside of the village in the designated car park and walk the short distance to the village	A beautiful cottage in Corfe Castle
