Corfe Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

High above this village towers the ruins of a castle that was built here by William the Conqueror. During the English Civil War (1642-1651), Corfe Castle remained a royal stronghold for a long time, but in 1645 it was blown up by supporters of Parliament. From the adjoining garden of the National Trust's tearoom you can clearly see how crooked the robust walls and gates have become as a result of gunpowder explosions.

Hartland Moor

Highlight • Cycleway

always lovely to cycle across the heathlands and nature reserves between Wareham and Corfe rather than the shorter and much busier direct road

Arne Road

Highlight • Cycleway

This scenic road runs along the north side of the Isle of Purbeck peninsula past Arne RSPB. It's part of National Cycle Network route 2, and is a spectacular section of cycling.

The quiet lane winds through woodland as well as open heathland dotted with purple heather and yellow gorse.
