About

The area is centred around the remains of Corfe Castle, a ruined fortress dominating a gap in the Purbeck Hills. The village of Corfe Castle sits directly below, its stone buildings and square clustered around the castle gate. To the south, the landscape opens into the Isle of Purbeck, leading to the coastal village of Langton Matravers.

Langton Matravers has a history deeply tied to Purbeck stone quarrying. The local museum details this heritage, and evidence of the industry remains in the surrounding fields and lanes. The area's geology is fundamental, with the ridge providing a clear defensive position for the castle and the limestone below being worked for centuries.
