Dominated by a ruined castle of the same name, Corfe Castle is a village situated in a gap in the Purbeck Hills, some 4 miles south east of Wareham and 4 miles north west of Swanage. There are traces of occupation in the area of all periods since 6,000 BC. The castle dates back to the 11th century and was besieged twice during the Civil War after which it was slighted. Now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. The heritage Swanage Railway runs through the village.
