Overview of your Corfe castle tour:

Discover the enchanting beauty of Dorset and the magical Isle of Purbeck with its rich, ancient history on this walking tour from the iconic Corfe Castle to the Victorian seaside town of Swanage. We'll begin in the historic village of Corfe, where the castle's impressive ruins rise majestically against the skyline. Explore the remains of this fairytale stone fortress dating back to the c11th steeped in English history. The royal palace and Norman stronghold, echoing with the footsteps of knights and kings. Amble through the little village of Corfe, perhaps stopping at the tearooms or centuries old pub and then see the beautifully restored heritage railway line and station. We begin the walk by ascending the ridge along the Purbeck Hills and are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. Gaze down upon Corfe Castle, across Poole Harbour, and towards the glistening waters of Swanage Bay. We arrive in the picturesque seaside town of Swanage, a jewel of the Dorset coast.
