Steam Train and Corfe Castle

Step back to 1885 aboard a heritage steam train on the Swanage Railway, where the rhythmic chuff of the engine and billowing plumes of steam transport you to the golden age of rail travel. Journey through the picturesque Isle of Purbeck, passing rolling hills and historic villages, before arriving at the charming village of Corfe.

There, explore the dramatic ruins of Corfe Castle, a thousand-year-old stronghold once favoured by kings and torn apart during the English Civil War. Perched high above a natural gap in the Purbeck Hills, the castle offers breathtaking views and a glimpse into centuries of history, intrigue, and legend.
