CORFE CASTLE
is a beautiful and historic village in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, in Dorset.
It takes its name from the Castle, first built by the Normans in about 1080, and destroyed by the forces of Parliament in 1646 after the Civil War.
The village boasts a hotel, four pubs (one with a restaurant), two tea rooms, a general store, an outstanding baker, an excellent butcher, a paper shop, a Post Office, two jewellers (one of London’s West End quality), a major National Trust Shop, and other attractions. The village has a regular bus service, and a link to Swanage by steam railway.
