About Corfe Castle
Corfe Castle, a historic fortification perched above the village of Corfe Castle on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, dates back to the 11th century and was constructed by William the Conqueror. Notably one of England's earliest stone castles, it strategically oversees a gap in the Purbeck Hills along the route from Wareham to Swanage. The castle underwent significant structural alterations during the 12th and 13th centuries, making it a key landmark in the region's planning considerations. The settlement has a population of approximately 1,284 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Dorset district.
