    Hiking

    The Corfe Castle Ridge is a dramatic chalk backbone running across the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. Part of the ancient Purbeck Hills, this steep, elevated ridgeline offers panoramic views of the ruins of Corfe Castle, Poole Harbour, and the English Channel. Formed millions of years ago by intense tectonic forces, the ridge acts as a historic highway, traced today by the Purbeck Way walking trail. It is celebrated for its sweeping downland turf, rare chalkland wildflowers, and archaeological sites, providing a breathtaking, windswept journey through Dorset’s natural and medieval history.
