If you want to explore Corfe Castle by foot we invite you explore our list of walks in Corfe Castle. Corfe Castle was once a royal castle and historically a very important site. Its also quite unusual in that it retains a historic common of over 100 acres that you are free to roam. The village is surrounded by a vast network of footpaths and bridleways. The views over Corfe Castle village and the lovely Purbeck stone cottages are beautiful and well worth the (sometimes hilly) stomp.
