Corfe Castle

Highlight • Castle

This fantastic ruin dates back to the 11th century and was built by William the Conqueror. It occupies a gap in the chalk hills and dominates the landscape. It underwent a tumultuous history and was eventually slighted in the mid-17th century. Now it's owned by the National Trust and open to the public.
