Corfe Castle is one of Britain’s most iconic and evocative ruined castles, standing majestically above the village of Corfe Castle in the Isle of Purbeck. Built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, the castle served as a royal fortress and later as a dramatic Civil War stronghold. Parliamentary forces slighted the castle in 1646, creating the dramatic ruins visible today. Explore the keep, climb the ramparts for spectacular views, and discover over 1,000 years of tumultuous history. The National Trust site offers family activities, exhibitions, and stunning photo opportunities.
