What to expect
Corfe Castle is a fortification standing above the village of the same name on the Isle of Purbeck peninsula in the English county of Dorset. Built by William the Conqueror, the castle dates to the 11th century and commands a gap in the Purbeck Hills on the route between Wareham and Swanage. The castle has seen battles, murders, and miracles, and has been home to kings, knights, and a princess. A place of luxury, imprisonment, and finally destruction, the castle ruins are also a place of beauty and intrigue waiting to be discovered. The castle is open to the public and offers a glimpse into its rich history, with its stone walls, towers, and scenic views

Activities: We visited Corfe Castle, a 1,000 year old castle which was partially demolished in 1646. The children were given information on different people who worked around Corfe Castle at the time, like Sir Christopher Hatton who lived there
Highlights: My kids love climbing around old buildings, and exploring new places, as my son is older he enjoys learning the history behind the places ✨
