Three views of the once mighty Corfe Castle, favoured bastion of Kings and former royal treasury, now a favourite with holiday making families and schools. The castle is no doubt merely the last thing to be built on the strategically significant hillock set in the only gap in the Purbeck hills. I would imagine that the hill has, since prehistory, been viewed as significant by local populations and may have been the focus of ritual activity in those times. Although, it's unlikely we'll ever know as any past occupation or activity would have likely been erased by the castles building.
