Panoramic view of Corfe Castle in the Dorset countryside

Spectacular panoramic view of Corfe Castle dominating the landscape from the top of its natural hill on the Purbeck peninsula. The ruins of the medieval fortress stand majestically surrounded by lush vegetation of trees and green meadows typical of the Dorset countryside. The strategic position of the castle, built on a natural promontory that controlled the only passage through the Purbeck hills, made it for centuries one of the most important fortifications in southern England. This distant view allows you to appreciate the dramatic silhouette of the ruined towers against the clear sky.
