Nine Barrow Down

View of Corfe Castle from Brenscombe Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The climb from Rollington farm up onto Brenscombe Hill is a testing one, but the firm, chalky surface makes it easy to stick to a low gear and spin up to the hill crest. Your efforts will be well worth it as from up here you'll be able to see not just down into Corfe but across the whole of the Isle of Purbeck!

Corfe Castle Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Named after the dramatic castle ruins that sit on the high above the village, Corfe Castle is a delight to explore. Built strategically at a gap in the Purbeck Ridge, the castle dates back to the 10th century and is today owned by the National Trust.

The village is built from characteristic grey Purbeck limestone and boasts a wealth of places to eat and drink, as well as many accommodation options. The walking in the region is superb, with the heaths, hills and, of course, the excellent coast path.
