A different view of Corfe Castle, from Kingston on the Isle of Purbeck. Poole Harbour sits behind the ruins, while in the village is Purbeck’s Cathedral - built by Lord Eldon to honour his grandfather (or, as the villagers say, built as a private chapel because he was caught naked with the vicar’s wife!).
Starting at a little secret, deep in the Isle of Purbeck, rise up to discover panoramic views of the Jurassic Coastline, all hidden from the rest of the world. Walk along the ridge passing ancient settlement and country houses, one of which was home to a highwayman who terrified travellers but escaped the gallows. Skim the old fishing and smuggling village of Kimmeridge and return to see an apparition of Corfe Castle appear, the blue water of Poole Harbour sitting behind. Slowly climb the slopes, back to Kingston with the tower of Purbeck’s Cathedral guiding the way.
