Castles in Dorset
| Corfe Castle
|
|
Wow! It is a ruin, but what a ruin! Soaring above Corfe village, the early Norman castle is quite an impressive sight. Built in the reign of William the Conqueror, the castle was heavily besieged in the Civil War and only fell when betrayed by some of the defenders. Heavily slighted by Parliamentary troops afterwards to produce the evocative site we see now.
