Corfe Castle - Dorset
Corfe Castle In Dorset Is One Of My Favourite Places
The village of Corfe Castle in Dorset, on the south coast of England, guards one of only two gaps in the Purbeck Hills, allowing access to the north. The castle was destroyed during the English Civil War in the 17th Century.

Fantastic photo. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, living in the shadow of a ruined castle, I have goosebumps!
3 weeks today, and I will be in England.
Oh Corfe Castle is awesome. We used to stay near there when I was a kid. The castle is very cool to visit too.
Thanks Laura.
Tony, I have really enjoyed the photos you have shared on AC. Nice job. Laura Everly
Beautiful photo! Looks really nice.
Great photo! I hope to visit England one day. Corfe Castle will be on my list of must see places!
I hope to go back to Corfe Castle later this summer. It's only 40 miles from home, and such a pretty village. The views of the castle from all around are spectacular, it dominates the landscape. They just finished doing renovations on the ruins as well (if that makes sense). I hope to have more photos soon.
