From here you get a peek of Corfe Castle in the distance, a medieval fortress set against a backdrop of the picturesque Purbeck Hills.

The church was rebuilt in 1776, reusing medieval foundations and is considered a good example of the early Gothic revival. The rebuilding was financed by the Frampton family, who lived in the nearby manor house. The north aisle was added in 1841 and most internal fittings were renewed c1847. In 1940, the church suffered a direct hit from a German bomb, and was largely destroyed. It was rebuilt over the following decade, but the stained glass windows were replaced with plain green glass. It is known for its thirteen windows, engraved by the poet and artist Sir Laurence Whistler.

The whole town is very picturesque with several options for refreshments.

No but I do now thanks very much: Corfe Castle is considered to be the inspiration for Enid Blyton's Kirrin Island, which had its own similar castle.

This scenic road runs along the north side of the Isle of Purbeck peninsula past Arne RSPB. It's part of National Cycle Network route 2, and is a spectacular section of cycling. The quiet lane winds through woodland as well as open heathland dotted with purple heather and yellow gorse.

The Sika trail is a multi-use trail through Wareham forest. The trail is generally good gravel and not too hilly. Look out for Sika deer which were introduced here in the 1850s from Asia.

Nice bit of gravel on cycle route 2

Make sure you ride the Purbeck Way in both directions to take in the different views and experience.

Lots of wildlife now including cows, horses and even frisky pigs!

Did you know that the sight of Corfe Castle ruins used to be a huge source of inspiration for Enid Blyton and her Famous Five books 📚?

Corfe Castle stands above the village of the same name on the Isle of Purbeck peninsula in the English county of Dorset. Built by William the Conqueror, the castle dates to the 11th century. It commands a gap in the Purbeck Hills on the route between Wareham and Swanage. It was one of the earliest castles in England to be built at least partly using stone when the majority were built with earth and timber. It was a Royalist stronghold in the English Civil War, falling to the Parliamentarians in 1645. It is now owned by the National Trust and is pretty popular so can be pretty busy with around 250,000 visitors a year.

These are beautiful windows!

One window was not allowed to hang in the church itself. It is the image of Joseph suspended from a rope. The window also opens onto another room.

High above this village towers the ruins of a castle that was built here by William the Conqueror. During the English Civil War (1642-1651), Corfe Castle remained a royal stronghold for a long time, but in 1645 it was blown up by supporters of Parliament. From the adjoining garden of the National Trust's tearoom you can clearly see how crooked the robust walls and gates have become as a result of gunpowder explosions.
