Corfe Castle is both a historic village and the name of a remarkable ruined castle in the county of Dorset, England. The village, situated in the Purbeck Hills, grew up around the medieval fortress that was built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. The castle, which sits atop a natural hill guarding the principal route through the Purbeck Hills, played a significant role in English history until its partial demolition in 1646 during the English Civil War.
The village maintains its historical character with traditional limestone cottages and narrow streets. The area is rich in geological and cultural heritage, being part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The local quarrying industry, particularly of Purbeck stone, has historically been significant to the area's economy and has influenced its architectural heritage.
Today, the village and its iconic ruined castle attract visitors interested in history, archaeology, and the natural landscape of the Isle of Purbeck.
