[title] => Corfe Castle
[content] => Distance: 7½ miles (11.5km)
Ascent: 670 feet (205m)
Descent: 1020 feet (310m)
Walking right from our door, we head out to Golden Bowl and Houns Tout for excellent views from St Aldhelm's Head in the east to Portland Bill in the west. We then descend gradually on a new path towards
Chapman’s Pool before making our way inland via the Purbeck Way and Corfe Common to Corfe Castle Village where there will be plenty of time to explore. Relax in sun outside one of Corfe's cafes, watch for steam trains, or visit the romantic ruins of Corfe Castle, before a short ride on the local bus takes us back to our hotel.

[content] => Distance: 10 miles (16km)
Ascent: 1,330 feet (410m)
Setting off on our walk direct from the hotel door, we’re treated to a circular route that takes in Swyre Head – the highest point on the Isle of Purbeck – and picturesque Kimmeridge Bay, where a giant pliosaur skull was discovered in 2022. There’s time to take a peek inside the Wild Seas centre, which will reveal what nature to look out for on our walks over the next few days.
