Arguably the UK's most beautiful medieval castle ruins, Corfe Castle's history goes back over a millennia and it has long benefitted from its dominant position on the steep-sided chalk hill. In 1646 it was destroyed by Cromwell’s troops during the English Civil War and has stayed in ruins ever since.

For cyclists, this short section gives an almost 360-degree panorama of the castle ruins, before rejoining a main road. After a lefthand turn opposite the visitors centre and car park you'll soon disappear back onto quiet lanes.

Corfe Castle is one of my top three castles in the country. It's a ruin (thanks to Oliver Cromwell) but it's in such a fantastic setting on a relatively small knoll between two spurs of the Purbeck Hills - you can tell why it was built there.
