Corfe Castle

Set in the Isle of Purbeck, Corfe Castle is famed for its ruined castle and beautiful surrounding countryside that makes for some challenging walking. There are a number of trails starting from Corfe Castle.

One of my favourite walks which I only discovered recently with breathtaking panoramic views, is East Creech to Wareham, along the Purbeck Ridge. From East Creech Farm Campsite, Creech, East Creech, Wareham BH20 5AP to Wareham, Dorset, UK. 1 h 3 min (3.4 mi).

For the adventurous dog walkers there is a 12 mile walk to Swanage where you can get the steam train back to Corfe. It’s a challenging walk but perfect for those who enjoy a spot of history along the way. Dinosaur footprints have been found here, and there’s even been sightings of dolphins! If you’re looking for something a little gentler, a stroll around the Castle itself is well worth a look and much more leisurely! There’s a National Trust car park nearby.

Do remember to put your dog on the lead where live stock are grazing freely!
