Corfe Castle - Opening Times, Prices and History

Perched high on a hill in Dorset, Corfe Castle is a thousand-year-old fortress built by William the Conqueror and once a royal stronghold. It survived battles, betrayals, and brave defences ,most famously by Lady Mary Bankes during the Civil War, before being blown apart in 1646. Today, its dramatic ruins, ghostly legends, and breathtaking views make it one of England’s most iconic landmarks, watched over by the charming stone village below and the puffing steam trains of the Swanage Railway. #f
