Charming view of the historic Bankes Arms pub, the beating heart of Corfe Castle village in Dorset. The gray Purbeck stone building features the typical architecture of English cottages with slate roof, dormers and colorful flower boxes adorning the entrance. The pub sign recalls the Bankes family, former owners of the castle that dominates the village from the hill behind. This traditional inn offers visitors the authentic atmosphere of the English countryside, with local beers and typical Dorset dishes served in an environment that preserves intact the charm of rural England.
