🚂 All aboard for an enchanting tour of Corfe Castle Village! 🏰
Join us as we embark on a magical journey to the picturesque Corfe Castle Village in Dorset, England. Our adventure begins with a scenic steam train ride from Swanage, setting the perfect tone for exploring this historic gem.
As we arrive, you'll be captivated by the village's charming atmosphere and quaint architecture. We'll stroll through its narrow streets, discovering delightful shops, and traditional pubs. A visit to the Town Hall Museum, the smallest in England, offers a glimpse into the village's rich past.
Step back in time at the Corfe Castle Model Village, a meticulously crafted replica depicting the castle and village as they appeared in 1648, before the English Civil War. Witness the castle's grandeur and imagine life within its walls before its destruction.
For breathtaking panoramic views, we'll venture to the Corfe Castle viewpoint. Although the hike may be challenging, the reward is well worth the effort.
No visit to Corfe Castle would be complete without seeing the iconic castle ruins. While we won't be entering the castle on this tour, we'll wander around its base, admiring its imposing structure and imagining its former glory.
Throughout our journey, you'll be treated to the captivating sight of steam trains chugging along the viaducts, a reminder of the village's railway heritage.
By the end of this video, you'll understand why Corfe Castle Village is a must-visit destination for history buffs, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a truly enchanting experience.

I love all your videos but especially the Dorset ones; such a beautiful part of England. I really appreciate all the historical facts you incorporate into all your videos also, they are so interesting! Thank you both.

Great tour of Corfe Castle and the lovely village. It brought back lots of lovely memories from when I visited as a teenager. We stayed in Swanage and took the train too. We were camping in my parent's campervan. It must have been about twenty years ago, so I'll definitely have to organise a trip to return to Swanage and Corfe Castle at some point! Thanks for sharing your time here :)

Code castle doesn’t look like it’s on a natural hill to me. Very close by I am always intrigued about another hill that exists very nearby and that doesn’t look natural either to me. Another part of a defence system perhaps?

@MemorySeekers Ай бұрын

I didn't think it was a natural hill either but in my research it came up a number of times as a natural hill?

@dippydoo3918 Ай бұрын

@@MemorySeekers Interesting. It just looks like it has been built or built up for defence purposes to see far and wide. This hill here in the attached image (if I can attach it) right opposite corfe castle I am often intrigued by it as if it is also part of the defence of Corfe Castle and maybe overlooked historically? What do you think ? I cannot seem to attach that photo I took from Google maps to show the other hill. It starts from the bridge area, again an unnatural looking hill with the road going right through the middle of the 2 hills there
