Corfe Castle - MURDER, CIVIL WAR and DESTRUCTION!

In this video, I invite you to join me for an autumn walk around the ruins of Corfe Castle.
This 11th century castle has seen more than it's fair share of civil unrest and untimely deaths!
I also take a look at the quintessential village of Corfe Castle and the church of St. Edwards.

The fact that the walk is shorter than normal does not make it any less interesting, what a fairytale landscape, the ruins on the hill with a steam train that whistles, what a wonderfully beautiful country you have. 👍👍👍

[@walkingthewyrd]

[@walkingthewyrd]

I did, and my hips been giving me jip ever since! 🥴😆

[@pbcreative6388]

I've been to the castle many times over the years, and not seen it from some of those viewpoints you filmed from! Well done. Nice narration, and good choice of music again. 👍

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks so much, PB! Much appreciated 🙂

Wow, to have seen Corfe Castle in its full glory sitting there on top of the hill before they demolished it, I bet it looked incredible! Fab video 👏

[@walkingthewyrd]

I agree! Such a shame they chose to destroy it! Bet it's proper spooky at night 👻

[@david_v2.1]

They sure knew how to pick a location for their castles back then...what a beautiful ruin, and the church too. Thanks for showing us all this incredible history

[@walkingthewyrd]

Indeed! Corfe has some of the best views for miles! Thanks for watching again, David!

Amazing views, I was friends with a guy that lived in keeper’s lodge to the lovely Kingston Lacy Estate, we had many a good look at the house prior to the National Trust reopening.. amazing history, almost lost to this truly horrible, modern world! I’m sure I’m living in the wrong era! 😊

[@walkingthewyrd]

You and me both! Places like these are sadly lost to the modern world. We have to keep them alive! Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@DaveFord]

Super video Nic. You certainly get some great views from the top of the castle for sure!

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks kindly, Dave!

[@walkingthewyrd]
