 Corfe Castle
Corfe Castle is a fortification built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century that stands above the
village of Corfe in the county of Dorset. Part of the English National Trust and only 8 kms away from
both Swanage and Wareham, it is a major tourist attraction with more than 1,000 years of history to
discover.
It is believed that King Edward the Martyr was stabbed to death here on the orders of his stepmother
in 978 AD, so that her son Ethelred ‘The Unready’ could rise to the throne.
You can find really old traditional pubs here. One which is actually an ‘old watering hole’ (e.g. it has a
‘well’ and free running water underneath it) in fact, the pub is so small you might miss it. The village
has amazing cottage style country shops and houses with thatched roofs (made of straw) and you
can take the steam train that runs from Corfe (Castle) to Swanage and back again. It is an idyllic,
quaint English country village, with two churches and at least three different pubs and other cafes.
You can also choose to sit and sample an English cream tea whilst looking at the castle ruins.

Poole
Nearby, Poole boasts the largest natural harbour
in the world and the lovely nature reserve of
Brown Sea Island lies in the middle. Pleasure
boats wait at the quayside and regularly make
the short trip over to the island. Poole Harbour is
a great location for water sports like windsurfing,
yachting and sea fishing.
Tower Park leisure complex offers a host of up-

water slides and Laser Quest.
The town‘s picturesque old quay retains its 18th-
century atmosphere and is an ideal location to
have something to eat while overlooking the bay.

Wimborne
The small market town is dominated by
the two towers of the imposing Minster
church, but offers a whole lot more. The
Minster was built in the 12th century and is
recognised for its unusual chained library
which is one of only four surviving chained
libraries in the world.
The town’s shops include many antiques
and curios as well as a modern centre.
There is an antiques market on Friday,
a flea market on Saturday and a huge
combination of the two on Sunday.
The historic town is beautifully situated in
